The American League is loaded with premier hitting talent.

In a rare turn of events, not a lot has gone right for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2024. The club sits last in the difficult AL East with a 31-35 record while its -65 run differential is only superior to the A's and White Sox among American League clubs. Not only has the on-field […]
