It's time for our final 2026 Season Review and we are finishing up in Tampa of all places, as we review the Rays!

Joining Gaz and Cal on this one is Grant Kerry - former GB Men's Alumni and one of Cal's oldest friends!

The Rays started off very strong in 2026, at one point leading the AL East, before sliding to a 77-85 record, good for 4th place!

The season didn't start the way the Rays would have wanted, with Tropicana Field being unusable following Hurricane Milton passing through. So the Rays played half their games at the Yankees' Spring Training facility - Steinbrenner Field!

Despite playing at a minor league ballpark, the Rays did put on a show worthy of the major leagues at times! Junior Caminero was smashing the ball everywhere and Jonathan Aranda was a contender for the batting title for much of last year!

Throw in the speedy Chandler Simpson and the ever-reliable Yandy Diaz, and its safe to say that the Rays had a lineup capable of causing damage to a lot of the teams in the league!

The off-season was very interesting for the Rays, with them being involved in numerous 3-team trades and a lot of new faces in the 2026 roster! So how exactly will they fare in 2026?

Joining Gaz & Cal on this episode is Grant Kerry, avid Rays fan and childhood friend of Cal!

So have a listen as we review the Rays' 2025 season and discuss what 2026 may have in store - Happy Listening!
