With the Rays announcing the signing of reliever Ryan Webb and with spring training now underway, we now have a pretty good idea what the roster is going to look like on Opening Day and some MLB executives are not impressed.
Jayson Stark of ESPN has published his annual “Best and Worst of the Offseason” poll in which he surveys 35 team executives on various topics. One question asked the execs to name the “Most unimproved teams.” While the Angels, Orioles, and A’s received the most votes, the Rays came in fourth, with five execs expressing their lack of being impressed by what the Rays have built this winter.
