It has only been a few months since the Rays traded Blake Snell to the San Diego Padres, and yet it feels much fresher than that, for Rays fans and Snell alike.
Snellzilla, whose last moments with the team in live play were the much-debated early removal from Game Six of the World Series, has since spoken about that choice. What what we haven’t heard him talk about much was how he felt being a member of the Rays.
This week, he went on the Chris Rose Rotation — like the current Rays ace Tyler Glasnow did last week — to chat about his experience with the Padres, but also how it felt to leave the team he started with.
