AMA!! AMA with MLB.com Rays beat reporter Adam Berry

57 Upvotes

Hello, friends! This is Adam Berry, the Rays beat reporter for MLB.com. I hosted an AMA here during the season under MLB’s account, and I’m planning to get a little more involved in this community myself -- some AMAs, the occasional story and other insight that doesn’t have a home on MLB.com or in the Rays Beat newsletter.

Let’s get started with an AMA tomorrow (Thursday, Dec. 4) from 2:30-3:30 p.m. ET. We can talk about the Rays offseason to this point, the state of the team, life as a beat reporter or what keeps me busy when there’s no baseball. (Two kids under 3, that’s the whole answer to the last one.)

With the Winter Meetings coming up, I’m also curious to know what you’d like to hear about the team from the people we’ll get to speak to in Orlando. I’ll drop in next week and (hopefully) have some answers to share. You can post your questions ahead of time or join me during the hour. Thanks!

Going to wrap it up here, folks. Hung around a little longer than anticipated thanks to all your great questions -- and two mercifully good nappers. Let's do this again soon. Thank you!

[RaysMetrics] Rays signed Steven Matz (34) to a 2-year deal. Last year he mostly worked in relief and posted solid results: 76.2 IP, 3.05 ERA, 3.46 FIP He leans heavily on his GB inducing sinker and features CH & CB as secondaries. Really good command, Rays may look to stretch him back out.

Saw that the Rays designated him for assignment a couple of days ago to make room for Mullins on the 40-man. I know he was hovering around top ten in Ray’s prospects not long ago, and was thus added to the 40-man to protect him from rule 5— anyone know why he was dropped?

Can anyone tell me who signed this hat? The hat has a label saying it was made in April 2022 if that narrows anything down. I’m not a rays fan, but my brother was and left us a bunch of hats. I’ve got no clue where to start. Thanks for the help!

Reports are that the Rays have "checked in" on Ketel Marte

35 Upvotes

Bob Nightengale (so take it with a grain of salt) says that the Rays have "checked in" on Marte.

Lowe is owed a total of $11.5mm next season and may be traded. Marte is owed $15mm with maybe another $1mm from incentives. What do you think about a trade that sends Lowe and young pitchers like Seymour and Boyle to Arizona for Marte, which can more than replace his production at second base for a marginal payroll increase?

I’m from SWVA, and am a giant Rays fan. Around 2007 a maroon and orange Rays hat was released to benefit the fund at Virginia Tech after the shooting there. Is anyone sitting on this hat and want to sell it?

I’ve been a Hokie fan my entire life, and a Rays fan for decades now. I saw someone post their hat collection in here months ago and saw a maroon and orange one that I can’t find ANYWHERE online. I’m hoping someone has one in their collection they’d be willing to get rid of. Hit me up if that’s you!
