No way of getting around it, Leo Nunez just plain sucks. Sure, the kid is young, has a decent fastball and 29 saves. Problem is, he is no where near a consistent closer and every save opportunity he gets is a thrill ride – and not a fun one where you get off buzzin’ but instead the kind where you [...]

And the offseason is underway. The Rays lose to the Phillies in 5 games, a bit of a shocker in my opinion, and with that, the offseason is official.
