The Dodgers were supposed to be weaker. 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 to be. They look just fine, writes ByMcCullough. But the pitch clock looks even better. “We’re getting back to the way the game was meant to be played,” Dave Roberts said.
Of those three starters, Springs is the Most Rays guy. Or, as a rival evaluator put it, “another scrapheap special from the Rays.” Texas took him in the 30th round of the 2015 draft. He was a senior sign out of Appalachian State. He bounced around the Rangers system for a while — there were injured arms and DFAs in the process — before getting traded to Boston in 2020.
