AL East news

Another big shake-up in the American League East - the Tampa Bay Devil Rays are going to change their name at the end of the season. Said team president, Matt Silverman :

After talking with fans in focus groups, the team learned there was a "negative association" with the terms, "Devil Rays," and "devil," Silverman said.

"When they liked something we did, they would refer to us as the Rays. If they were discussing a complaint or gripe, we were the Devil Rays," Silverman said.

So I guess they got called the Devil Rays alot!

Only 22 days until pitchers & catchers report!!
