MLBTR Podcast: The Rays’ Stadium Plans, Diamond Sports, And Some Offseason Rumors

By Darragh McDonald | November 20, 2024 at 9:35am CDT

The latest episode of the MLB Trade Rumors Podcast is now live on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts! Make sure you subscribe as well! You can also use the player at this link to listen, if you don’t use Spotify or Apple for podcasts.

This week, host Darragh McDonald is joined by Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors to discuss…

  • The Rays’ stadium plans for the short term and the uncertainty in the long term (1:45)
  • Diamond Sports Group getting out of bankruptcy (8:40)

Plus, we answer your questions, including…

  • If the Red Sox acquire Garrett Crochet from the White Sox, will they still go after top free agents? (13:15)
  • Could the Reds and Royals line up on a trade involving Jonathan India and Brady Singer or some other Kansas City pitching? (17:25)
  • On the Top 50, none of the writers predicted the Orioles to sign top free agents. Are you underestimating David Rubenstein’s intention to speed up the timeline? (26:05)

    Great podcast guys!! Darragh I hope you were just joking about your CLW, if not I’ve got a niece I could introduce to you. She lives in Niagara but she’s a few years younger.

    Happy to hear the talk about the Rays situation, I agree it’s boring but obviously could have significant longterm ramifications affecting all of MLB. Just one footnote, it’s not just the city council that is putting the new stadium in jeopardy ….it’s the county commissioners as well.

    The Red Sox “had” Garrett Crochet. His name is Chris Sale.
