It’s finally time. On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Rays announced they were calling up the number one prospect in Major League Baseball, Wander Franco. Franco will join the team on Tuesday at Tropicana Field when the Rays start a series with the Boston Red Sox.

Although it is earlier than most expected, the Tampa Bay Rays have lost six straight games, and need some help. But hey, a wise person once said, there’s no time like the present. The Rays front office must have listened.
