Last week, our friends at Rays the Roof podcast were talking with Lindsey Adler, the Yankee beat reporter for The Athletic.
Lindsey was wondering how fans can stay engaged with a team like the Rays. After all, the Rays are best known for trading away players as soon as they get expensive. Other teams get to watch Brett Gardner or Buster Posey don the home uniform until it’s time for that grand retirement tour. But Rays fans, she (and many from the Yankee fanbase) claims, can barely invest in a shirsey before that favorite player is gone.
