After coming to arbitration agreements with their other eight eligible players, the Rays decided not to tender a contract to outfielder Ben Francisco.

As outfielder B.J. Upton left the Tampa Bay Rays and the AL East for the Atlanta Braves and the Senior Circuit, he waxed nostalgic after signing a $75 million dollar contract. Perhaps he'll blow his nose with a $100 bill.

It is always a risk to deal for a young prospect. Should the Rays bite the bullet and swap an All-Star starting pitcher for an unproven young hitter?

The Tampa Bay Rays, fresh of extending Evan Longoria for big money, may have a decision to make soon regarding starter David Price.

The Rays laid out a lot of money (for them, at least) to sign Evan Longoria and keep him in baby blue for the next ten years. With Longoria already on one of the most team-friendly deals in MLB history, should the Rays have made this new commitment?

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria received a contract extension through 2022; the deal is worth an additional $100 million.

B.J. Upton has been a crucial part of the Rays organization since being drafted in 2002. Having likely played his last game in baby blue, let's recap the young star's career in Tampa.

Center fielder B.J. Upton is almost certainly headed to play somewhere other than Tampa Bay, after he officially declined the one-year, $13 million qualifying offer from the Rays.

For Stephen Ross, a native of Miami who now lives in New York City, the recent natural disaster hit home.

The Tigers' Justin Verlander and the Angels' Jered Weaver are the other two finalists for the award.
