ST. PETERSBURG — They parted ways with the best manager in baseball and replaced him with a guy who never managed a day in his life.
They traded the best player in franchise history. Then a bunch of his veteran teammates. In their place, they threw out a bunch of kids barely old enough to shave.
They had this kooky idea of using relievers to start games. And so they ended up trading their opening day starter.
Everything they do seems out of left field.
And everything they do seems to work.
Maybe these Tampa Bay Rays know what they're doing after all.
