Description

Tampa Bay Rays poised for Silver Slugger resurgence in 2026—can Brandon Lowe and Junior Caminero break through after coming up short this season? Ulises and Kevin debate the Rays’ next wave of offensive stars and the fierce competition at second base and third, spotlighting the impact of past winners like Yandy Díaz and perennial obstacles such as Jose Ramirez and Jazz Chisholm. Will Aranda, Lowe, or Caminero finally claim hardware with improved power and consistency?

Rays’ 2026 bullpen faces a major reset following Pete Fairbanks’ departure, with Garrett Cleavinger, Edwin Uceta, and Griffin Jax vying for the closer role. The hosts explore the likelihood of a closer-by-committee approach, the importance of strikeout rates, and the potential for pivotal midseason moves. Plus, World Baseball Classic representation could hit all-time lows—what does that mean for the Rays’ star power and international legacy?
