  • The Rays held their final spring training workout Wednesday at Tropicana Field.
  • Tampa Bay has sold out 18 straight home openers (not including the 2020 season).
  • Orlando-native Zach Eflin will get the opening day start for the Rays. Eflin grew up a Rays fan.
  • Rays infielder Brandon Lowe says he feels like an "old guy" at age 29, but opening day always has "first day of school vibes."
  • Manager Kevin Cash says despite a handful of injuries to his roster he feels great about the Rays lineup heading into the season.
  • Regarding Wander Franco, Cash said he has no comment but "I'm sure there will be some news coming."
