@UnderdogMLB @JeffPassan Seems like a win/win trade for both teams.

Trade summary, per @JeffPassan: Red Sox get - Curtis Mead Nationals get - Connelly Early

@OPS_BASEBALL What a year for Nick! I am happy for him.

Nick Martinez has a 2.45 ERA in 117.1 IP. Yes, you read that correctly.

@ExtendKevinCash Awesome! Can we keep Vilade in the Lineup?

Extremely proud of my former student J’Andre Huffman! ⚡ J’Andre graduated from South Fort Myers High School (SFMHS) in 2021 and is now training to become a licensed electrician at the Earle C. Clements Job Corps Center in Morganfield, Kentucky. Seeing him master hands-on electrical skills and earn his NCCER certifications reminds me exactly why I love CTE. The future is bright — keep going, J’Andre! 👏 #LeeSchools #SFMHS #CTE #JobCorps #FutureElectrician

@TBRaysCentral Incredible play!

What a play by Richie Palacios on the first pitch of the game

Beautiful morning walk with my wife through historic Edison Park! From the 1927 Edison Park School to the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center and those palm-lined brick streets — Fort Myers at its best. Hot & humid today with a chance of afternoon showers — classic SWFL summer! So grateful to start the day together. Follow for more Lee County content! #FortMyers #EdisonPark #SWFL #LeeCountyProud

God Bless America! ❤️🤍💙 #America250 #BravesCountry #TruistPark

@MLBNetwork Neither. You have to go all in on Junior Caminero @RaysBaseball.

Can't go wrong with either of these young stars ⭐️ Catch Konnor Griffin and the Pirates take on James Wood and the Nationals at 11am ET! MLB Network + Banana Boat

@ECloskyWTSP Mullins is a professional. I would like to see the Lineup with Mullins, DeLuca, and Vilade in the OF. Not to say it would be better, but interesting.

Still waiting for some Rays fans on this app to forgive Mullins for his dreadful March/April… Has been a completely different player since May 1. I will continue to fight the good fight, though.

Great day at the JA Pre-Apprenticeship Hiring Event! Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida and CareerSource Southwest Florida connected Lehigh Senior and Gateway Charter High School students with local employers for excellent opportunities in the skilled trades. Huge thanks to our business partners — including Ford Drywall & Stucco — for investing in these students and opening doors to strong, debt-free careers. Proud to support the next generation of builders in Southwest Florida! #SkilledTrades #CTE #Apprenticeship #JA

@BayNews9Jeff @MLBNetwork I agree. He should be on the All-Star Team.

@EdMathews @MLBNetwork A glaring omission. And it's not that Plesac's anti-Ray. He's got Shane and he's got Martinez. But Rasmussen has been outstanding.

Which starting pitcher not featured on Dan Plesac’s June 1st DP Top 25 will crack the new list released tomorrow and why? #MLBTonight
