Which players could make the most difference in the Rays bullpen?

The 2018 Rays are a big question mark. With the departure of familiar faces like Evan Longoria, Steven Souza Jr., and Corey Dickerson, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the team.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's latest barrage of tweets attacking investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election stretched the bounds of credulity, from false claims that "no crime" had been uncovered to assertions that his campaign had been cleared of collusion with Russia. His charge that the probe is politically biased also falls short. That's what The Associated Press found when scrutinizing an assortment of statements he made last week. Trump left out important context... Читать дальше...

IN THE 1950s—when the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a cartel of airlines, used to set fare levels and service quality on international routes—there were few differences between major carriers. One way to persuade passengers to choose one airline over another was to offer better meals as entertainment on board. And so an arms race to serve fancier food on transatlantic flights began. It came to an end in 1958, when SAS, a Scandinavian carrier, was fined $20,000 by IATA for serving open sandwiches that... Читать дальше...

Progressives for Immigration Reform, the "non-profit" that bought $80,000 worth of ads running to full houses on the Bay Area Rapid Transport (BART) stations and trains told Firstpost that the ad blitz that launched late last week in Silicon Valley is the result of "more than a year of thinking about the effects of immigration and hearing from tech workers who could not find employment."

He’s the undisputed top player in the game right now, and arguably one of the best to ever play the game. Per his baseball-reference page, Trout hit .306/.442/.629 last year with 33 HRs, 72 RBI, 22 SB, a 187 OPS+ and 6.7 WAR, all in just 114 games and 507 PA. That production was enough to get Trout a 4th-place finish in the AL MVP voting, still the worst he’s ever finished if you don’t count 2011... Читать дальше...
