The big news was that the Rays called up pitching prospect Anthony Banda, while also promoting Curtis Taylor to Double-A.
Now to the news everyone seems to want to actually talk about.
On the Rays offday, Marc Topkin was working. He went to Philladelphia and caught up with former-Ray Evan Longoria. Longoria said that maybe the Rays shold move out of the Tampa Bay area. Then Topkin went in the other room and danced for a couple minutes before writing up those quotes and tweeting it approximately 50 times.
There’s exactly one interesting point in Longoria’s quotes:
“It pains me to say that, but players want to play in a place where you have consistent support,’’ Longoria said.
