    You Don't Spend Just To Spend

    Steve Carney is back with a third season talking all things Tampa Bay Rays. After what was a quiet free agency period during the offseason, Steve discusses why he feels that it's better to pursue the pieces that fit best with the team and not do what some big-market clubs have done and just gone out and spend willy-nilly on some big name bat. He also gets into the decision that is forthcoming on a winning proposal for redevelopment of the Tropicana Field site, and what changes you could see regarding the availability of television coverage of the team.
