Why the Rays are the most exciting team in baseball

Let's begin with Blake Snell. He's a good place to start when talking about the most exciting organization in the majors for 2019, given that he's the reigning American League Cy Young winner and owner of a Millennium Falcon fastball and wipeout curveball. Maybe you don't know much about Snell other than the impressive stat line: 21-5, 1.89 ERA, 221 strikeouts, just the fourth American League starter to post a sub-2.00 ERA since the designated hitter was instituted in 1973. The other three were guys named Guidry, Clemens and Pedro.

Maybe all you need know to about the ace of the Tampa Bay Rays is this: He didn't even keep his Cy Young trophy.
