Wander Franco Convicted in Dominican Republic Case, But No Prison Time

Franco was found guilty in a Dominican Republic retrial of sexual and psychological abuse of a minor but will not serve prison time because a three-judge panel granted him a judicial pardon; the conviction remains, and the minor’s mother was given a ten-year sentence for money laundering and threats. The verdict echoes last year’s outcome, with a full reading planned for June 16, while MLB and the Rays said they will cooperate with the league’s policy review; visa issues and possible MLB suspension could impede his return to the U.S. or active play.

Rays land Kimbrel on MLB deal to reinforce relief corps

The Tampa Bay Rays signed veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to a major league contract after he was designated for assignment by the Mets, adding a veteran arm as Jesse Scholtens lands on the 15-day IL with a right wrist strain. Kimbrel, 37, has 440 career saves across 11 teams and could be in the Rays’ bullpen for tonight’s game against the Orioles. The move aims to bolster a bullpen dealing with injuries and late-season usage, with Kimbrel’s turbulent recent stretch contrasted by the Rays’ history of reviving veteran arms.

What If Shohei Ohtani Had Joined the Rays in 2023?

The Athletic revisits a seriously discussed 2023 deadline scenario in which Shohei Ohtani could have been traded from the Angels to the Rays for top Rays prospects Junior Caminero and Carson Williams. Angels owner Arte Moreno balked at the deal, and Ohtani later signed with the Dodgers as a free agent. The piece uses the “what if” to illustrate how one decision might have reshaped both clubs, highlighting Caminero’s emerging star power and the Angels’ missed opportunity.

Rays walk off Yankees in 10th as Caballero’s three-RBI night isn’t enough

Max Fried worked eight innings of three-run ball and left with a quality start, but the Yankees’ bats again went cold in key spots. Caballero produced three RBIs and delivered a go-ahead two-run double late, yet New York’s bullpen and defense couldn’t hold the lead. The Rays tied the game in extras and won it in the 10th on a decisive infield single/grounder by Aranda, handing the Yankees their fourth straight defeat.

Rays Designate Gavin Lux as Everyday Second Baseman in Three-Team Swap

The Rays acquired Gavin Lux in a three-team trade and plan to use him as their everyday second baseman, focusing his defensive work at the keystone and likely locking Taylor Walls in at shortstop to start the season, with Carson Williams headed back to Triple-A; Lux’s move is aimed at stabilizing the infield around his strengths at second base, while Richie Palacios could see his opportunities reduced.
