Starkville | Post-trade deadline debuts and the Rays' Erik Neander takes us inside the war room
About this episode
The Rays are in the thick of the AL East race, and they were in the middle of a whole lot of trade possibilities before Friday's deadline. Vice President of Baseball Operations and GM Erik Neander visits Starkville for an inside look at how a wild deadline played out. He also explains how growing up near Cooperstown impacted his life and how breaking into a ballpark suite helped him advance his career with the Rays.
Strange But True focuses on some trades that started paying off immediately. Add in trivia and this episode has it all.
