ST. PETERSBURG -- Bullpen talk has been the hot topic in the Rays' camp for the length of Spring Training.
This season, the Rays plan to use four regular starters -- Chris Archer, Blake Snell, Nathan Eovaldi, and Jake Faria -- and a fifth starter on a "bullpen day," during which relievers will fill the nine innings.
According to Rays manager Kevin Cash, the plan to go in this direction was hatched shortly after the completion of the 2017 season.
