US company making masks for sports fans to stay safe and show team pride
WinCraft CEO John Killen says the new products have been a phenomenal success for the company hit hard by COVID-19.
If there’s any team that can take the New York Yankees’ throne in the American League East, it is the Tampa Bay Rays.
Tampa Bay enters the 2020 season still with an impressive rotation led by Blake Snell and Charlie Morton along with key players like Brandon Lowe, Willy Adames and Austin Meadows.
Snell didn’t exactly have a stellar 2019 season as he was coming off an American League Cy Young award win. He posted a 4.29 ERA with 147 strikeouts in 23 games. Morton was a bit better, recording a 3.05 ERA and a career-high 240 strikeouts. Those two pitchers will be huge during their games against division opponents.
Meadows broke out last season with 33 home runs, a .291 batting average and a .922 OPS. He earned his first All-Star Game appearance and will likely be the anchor of the lineup. Lowe and Adames will be relied upon for keeping their slugging pace up during the season.
The Rays added Hunter Renfroe and Yoshitomo Tsutsugo to the lineup in the offseason.
Tampa Bay will be a threat in the AL East for sure. The Yankees can’t get sloppy given the star power they have in the lineup because the Rays will be lurking.
The team was 37-23 through 60 games in 2019.
