ST. PETERSBURG and MIAMI -- The Tampa Bay Rays' general manager says it's like "reprogramming the entire operation" off the field, as the Rays and Miami Marlins get ready to start the regular MLB season in July.
Erik Neander told reporters in a Zoom call Wednesday that the team has to "throttle through" a "spring" training that starts July 1st. The regular season is expected to begin July 23rd or 24th.
Rays manager Kevin Cash says the team's performance will depend on players staying healthy... which has a new meaning thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic that wiped out the first half of the season.
