The Rays get catcher Mike Zunino back from the paternity list, and it immediately pays dividends as he helps power them to the end of their four-game losing streak with the help of a little dad strength from his son, Rhett. Also, former Rays pitcher Nathan Eovaldi needs another surgery on his repaired elbow, and Peter Bourjos plays in the infield for the first time.

The Rays were able to pull off a late spring trade, bringing in Peter Bourjos from the Chicago White Sox.

Chastain also catches up with Kevin Cash to talk about the biggest obstacle the team faces in order to compete this season.

The new Rays outfielder speaks after Wednesday's game
The new Rays outfielder speaks before Wednesday's game
Nate Jones was looking for something to do today(we kid), so he came on the White Sox Talk Podcast to speak with Chuck Garfien and gave what he said is the longest interview of his career (not kidding). Fresh off winning a gold medal at the World Baseball Classic, Jones spoke about the experience, what he did with his gold medal and why he chose to play in the tournament while other top Americans like Bryce Harper and Clayton Kershaw decided to skip it. Jones also gave a scouting report on some of the White Sox young pitchers and explains how Jose Quintana stays focused despite all the trade rumors. Later, Chuck is joined by White Sox CSN producers Rob Wiatrowski and Slavko Bekovic to talk about the Peter Bourjos trade that opens the door for Jacob May to win the starting job in centerfield. Plus, is Deadspin trolling the White Sox? AJ Pierzynski joins Fox Sports and Dan Hayes from CSN-Chicago.com calls from Arizona to give his predictions for the White Sox opening day roster.
The Phillies plan on being realistic when it comes to the Trade Deadline. MLB.com's Tim McMaster and Phillies reporter Todd Zolecki discuss why this team could be a Wild Card contender, why Peter Bourjos could be a valuable chip and how Aaron Nola's found his groove again.
On this episode of the Phillies Nation Podcast, Ian Riccaboni returns from Vermont and Steve Corino returns from his 80th (!) trip to Japan to discuss: - A large majority of young Phillies' hitters are hitting well so far. Is the success in small samples more indicative of hitters being ahead of pitchers early in Spring, statistical anomaly, or a sign that the Phillies should get the permits for the World Series parade ready? - There are likely two catching spots. Carlos Ruiz likely has one. Which hot-hitting catcher out of Cameron Rupp, J.P. Arencibia, Andrew Knapp, and Jorge Alfaro starts the year alongside Chooch in Philly? - Darin Ruf hit two homers and has been hitting well while Ryan Howard is ill. How realistic is it that Ruf starts at first base, Howard gets cut, and or Brock Stassi sees time at first base? - Aaron Altherr has broken his left wrist - with Cody Asche battling an oblique injury, who becomes the third starting outfielder next to Peter Bourjos in left and Odubel Herrera in center? Can Tyler Goedel, Cedric Hunter, and David Lough all make the team and will those three plus Bourjos and Herrera be your outfield all season? - Phillies starters have been pitching well, but what do Ian and Steve think about the bullpen? With David Hernandez out, is there a clear closer? Does there need to be? - The Beatles?! Reflect on the passing of George Martin and debate which Beatle had the best solo catalog! – Last week’s trivia question answer and this week’s trivia question for a great prize!
