This week’s series between the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays has been all about MLB debuts. On Tuesday, the entire MLB world turned its attention to Tampa to tune in for the promotion of one of the most heralded prospects in recent memory, as Connor Wong pinch-ran in the top of the 11th inning, following in the footsteps of Cal Ripken Jr. In addition, Wander Franco made his debut for the Rays.
In all seriousness, Franco was clearly the draw on Tuesday, as the 20-year-old is considered the best prospect in baseball by anyone who has even thought the word prospect.
