while he has a shot at Carlos Pena's club record of 46 HR, catching Pena's 121 RBI is quite the ask but he could move up as high as 2nd on this list

Junior hitting those round numbers tonight, RBIs 99 & 100 to put the Rays up 2

well they remained at .000 but did get a sac fly to take the lead

Rays have the bases loaded and nobody out, which only means one thing

Rays were hoping someone would take the risk of him exercising the $16M option next year, and Atlanta got them off the hook

I was kind of hoping he'd slide over to 2B because Brandon Lowe is so atrocious at the position. Now I guess he's the only real option (not Taylor Walls LOL and Brayden Taylor turned out to not be the heir apparent) barring a trade or signing this winter.
Steve Ferra (@abpow.bsky.social)
Kind of a shock (but not a shock) to see the Rays put Ha-Seong Kim on waivers and Atlanta claimed him. Now they're off the hook in the likely event he exercises his $16M player option for 2026. Despite his star-crossed 2025, I was hoping we'd see what we thought we were getting next year.

they always said streaming would lead to cutting the cord, so this is the logical endpoint

coming in with men on 1st and 3rd with nobody out, I predict Jax strikes out the first two guys and then gives up a 3-run homer to let Washington equalize
