Tigers trade target: The Rays are shopping Blake Snell

Perhaps the most enduring image, and the source of the most debate, of the 2020 season, was that of Tampa Bay Rays ace Blake Snell stalking off the field in obvious frustration after being pulled from Game 6 of the World Series. The 2018 American League Cy Young award winner had just allowed his second hit of the game, a single to Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith. With no outs and Mookie Betts and the top of the Dodgers lineup set to bat, Rays manager Kevin Cash turned to his bullpen despite Snell’s low pitch count and dominant performance to that point.
