Podcasts about Tampa Bay Rays

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley report from spring training in Bradenton, Fla., and examine a couple of newcomers in Jake Mangum and Jose Urquidy. How has Mangum been able to make a strong first impression since arriving from the Tampa Bay Rays with teammate Brandon Lowe? What's his role? Will he be able to find a spot in the outfield amongst Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds and Ryan O'Hearn? How did Urquidy look in his Pirates debut? Does his experience give him a leg up in the battle for the fifth spot in the starting rotation alongside Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller? Or does a younger pitcher like Carmen Mlodzinski or Hunter Barco have a better shot? Our duo tackles those topics, then discusses former Pirates manager Derek Shelton appearing in the opposing dugout on Thursday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

First sound of the season from the Tampa Bay Rays

It's a Let It Ride Thursday with TKras, packed with major Tampa Bay storylines and big-name guests. TKras breaks down the reality of the Buccaneers' 2026 offseason and whether the buzz around Maxx Crosby to the Bay is actually realistic or just offseason hype. What can the Bucs truly accomplish, and how aggressive should they be? Plus, the latest updates on the Olympics, the Tampa Bay Rays as Spring Training gets underway, and what to watch as the baseball season approaches. Special guest Greg Auman of FOX Sports joins the show with inside intel on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their offseason outlook.

TKras is joined by Scott Reynolds of PewterReport for a deep dive into all things Tampa Bay Buccaneers. From offseason priorities to roster-building strategy, the guys break down where this team stands and what needs to happen next. Plus, a blockbuster debate: Would you trade Chris Godwin Jr. OR Antoine Winfield Jr. for Maxx Crosby of the Raiders? Is adding an elite pass rusher worth moving a core piece of the roster? TKras weighs the cap implications, locker room impact, and whether a move like that makes sense for the Bucs right now. Also in the mix, a fun round of Would You Rather, and the latest surrounding the Tampa Bay Rays as key questions continue to hover over the organization. Insight, strong opinions, and plenty of Tampa Bay sports talk all in one episode.

It's a Two for Two Tuesday with TKras, and there's no shortage of Tampa Bay storylines. TKras dives into the latest surrounding the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offseason plan, including the big decision at quarterback — what should the Bucs do with Baker Mayfield? Is he the long-term answer, or is this the moment to pivot? Plus, Chris Mathis joins the show for fan-favorite segments Take It Or Leave It and Fill in the Blank, delivering strong takes, quick reactions, and plenty of debate.

Wait…what happened to the iconic "HCC"? In this episode of the "Money" Market Podcast, host Owen LaFave and Hillsborough College President Dr. Ken Atwater unpack why Hillsborough College dropped "Community" from its name and what that means for Tampa's economic future. From workforce pipelines – FinTech, AI, healthcare, and even drone technology – Hillsborough College is fueling Tampa Bay's workforce and innovation ecosystem. Plus, plot twist, Hillsborough College just entered into a Memo of Understanding (MOU) with the Tampa Bay Rays to explore building a new stadium and mixed-use district on the Dale Mabry campus, potentially creating thousands of jobs and redefining the campus footprint. Ken shares how the college partners directly with major employers, responds to real-time industry needs, and trains talent for jobs that exist right now. This conversation also tackles affordability, enrollment growth, and why two-year colleges educate more Floridians than state universities. Owen and Ken address the Dale Mabry campus headline buzz and what a potential Rays development could mean for students and the region. With a booming $1.3B economic impact and tuition frozen for a decade, Hillsborough College is quietly doing some of the most important work in the Bay area. If you care about jobs, growth, and where Tampa Bay is headed next, you won't want to miss this episode.   WATCH NEXT: THE HIDDEN COST OF GROWTH IN TAMPA WITH GARRETT GRECO https://youtu.be/B8KrG3r6mtY SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz_7yNs7dOuyKApAkohqJIQ   Follow The "Money" Market Podcast here:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6e7E0DaJZQkuw339G7nGI4?si=27d047641a1d4b17 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-money-market-podcast/id1733948143 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneymarketpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneymarketpodcast Website: https://moneymarketpodcast.com   The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC

TKras shares his take on the Tampa Bay Rays making a move on a pitcher. Who and why?

The Cardinals' winter of accumulation climaxed with the trade many months in the making: They moved All-Star utility fielder Brendan Donovan in a three-team trade to Seattle and received a windfall that included two of the Mariners' top-10 prospects and two draft picks, one each from the Mariners and Tampa Bay Rays. So, it's time to take stock. What did all of this subtraction actually add to the Cardinals? Back from a brief winter vacation, the Best Podcast in Baseball returns to discuss exactly that. Post-Dispatch editor Nathan Mills joins BPIB host and baseball writer Derrick Goold to explore the ramifications of the Donovan deal and much more on the eve of spring training. The podcast also explores whether the Cardinals should prioritize a contract extension for manager Oli Marmol, what the bigger benefit is for the two draft picks acquired, and what to take from the Cardinals' rise to No. 2 in Baseball America's farm rankings. It wasn't just prospects the Cardinals added this winter. They've got a bigger scouting apparatus -- they call it an acquisitions department -- and they're going to see how big and how soon that pays off.  More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.

How can you stream Tampa Bay Rays baseball this year, and what is the issue with streaming in sports right now?

Tampa Bay Rays stadium deal. Robert Kraft misses the Hall of Fame again. Daniel Kaplan on the future of the RSN's.

Let's wade through the made-up distractions that are circulating this week. There's a rumor that Robert Kraft leaked the Seahawks sale news to distract the Seahawks this week… there's no chance the players and coaches are thinking about that at all. Klint Kubiak seems to be headed to Vegas after the Super Bowl and even that shouldn't be in his way this week. Realistically, the so-called distractions shouldn't even be on either teams radar and while there are a lot of obligations for both teams this week, both MacDonald and Vrabel will have their teams locked in. :30- It's Stove time! The Mariners made the move we've been assuming they'd make, bringing in Brendan Donovan from the Cardinals in a 3-way trade for prospects Ben Williamson, Jurrangelo Cjintje and Tai Peete. How do the guys feel about the move and what the team gave up? :45- Jess caught up with some of the Seahawks players at Media night, so we hear from Riq Woolen.

Nick Kirby, Craig Sandlin, and Mike Hart deliver instant reaction to the breaking news that the Reds traded Gavin Lux to the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-team deal that brings reliever Brock Burke back from the Los Angeles Angels. The trio breaks down why the Reds moved on from Lux, what Burke adds to the bullpen, and whether this trade signals another move is coming — specifically, a bat to bolster the lineup.   Go to https://www.OmahaSteaks.com to get 50% off sitewide during their End of Season Sale.

Tonight on NS9LIVE!, we're putting the Pittsburgh Pirates under the NL Central microscope. How do they stack up right now against the Brewers, Cubs, Reds, and Cardinals, and are they truly close enough to contend in 2026? We'll debate whether the roster is “good enough” as-is or if the Pirates have to acquire at least one more bat to feel safe about being a real contender. We'll also hit the latest roster churn, including Marco Luciano being claimed by the Baltimore Orioles and Tsung-Che Cheng being claimed by the Tampa Bay Rays on January 7, 2026. Then we'll wrap with a Discord mailbag and answer your questions live.

The 2025-26 MLB offseason is in full swing, and the action since mid-December has been nonstop! We're covering every major signing, trade, and rumor that's reshaping rosters ahead of Spring Training. Japanese aces and sluggers are making big splashes stateside: right-hander Tatsuya Imai inks a 3-year, $54M deal with the Houston Astros to bolster their rotation alongside Hunter Brown, while power-hitting first baseman Kazuma Okamoto signs a 4-year, $60M contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, adding serious thump to a lineup already featuring Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Reliever Pete Fairbanks cashes in with a 1-year, $13M pillow contract with the Miami Marlins as he looks to rebound and hit free agency again next winter. On the trade front, the deals are flying: the Tampa Bay Rays send second baseman Brandon Lowe to the Pittsburgh Pirates for prospects, giving the Bucs a much-needed lefty bat. The Rays continue their reload by shipping young starter Shane Baz to the Baltimore Orioles in a separate move. In one of the biggest shocks, the St. Louis Cardinals trade veteran catcher Willson Contreras to the Boston Red Sox, instantly upgrading Boston's offense behind the plate.
