As we slip into the New Year, there isn’t a lot of news, but there is a review of some great writing, as well as a couple list and some predictions fro 2018.
MLB.com beat reporter Bill Chastain did a reader mailbag Q&A, and the questions were good, and the answers were good. He opines on when the Rays top prospects of Brent Honeywell, Willy Adames, and Jake Bauers will be called up (not to start the year, but soon after), what the bullpen will look like (young and hard-throwing), whether the Rays will sign Jose Bautista (he hasn’t heard that, but who knows), and who is set for a breakout (Steven Souza is healthy in the offseason for the first time in a bit).
