OM DENNE EPISODE
Tampa Bay Rays’ all-time closer debate heats up as Pete Fairbanks climbs to third in franchise saves. Can his longevity and “crazy eyes” moments eclipse the iconic legacies of Fernando Rodney, Roberto Hernandez, and Jake McGee? Ulises and Kevin break down what truly defines a top closer, comparing peak performance, All-Star credentials, and unforgettable personalities—while inviting listeners to decide their podium picks.
MLB’s bold new media rights agreements with Netflix, ESPN, and NBC Universal promise greater exposure and fresh behind-the-scenes access. The hosts discuss Shohei Ohtani’s global appeal, highlighting how international stars and expanded streaming options could spark baseball’s next big era.
Plus, Rays front office earns praise for supporting player moves abroad, as Bob Seymour and Forrest Whitley chase stardom in Japan. Will Tampa Bay’s player-friendly reputation attract future talent from around the world?
