MAILBAG: Would Tampa Kid Kyle Tucker Make the Rays Playoff Contenders? | Locked On Rays
Mailbag Episode!
In this episode of the Locked on Rays podcast, we dive into a trio of mailbag questions and tackle the big topics on every Rays fan’s mind. With Juan Soto’s blockbuster deal shaking up MLB, we discuss how it might impact future contracts for stars like Vlad Guerrero Jr. Then, we explore a tantalizing scenario: Could the Rays bring Tampa native Kyle Tucker home for a season? What kind of trade package would it take, and could it include catching prospect Walker Janek?
We also take a step back to address some of the recent challenges facing Rays fans —from hurricane damage to concerns about the stadium deal and Tricia Whitaker’s departure. Amidst the storm, we share reasons to stay hopeful and passionate about Rays baseball.

Hey thanks guys! I was thinking Springs, Yandy, Aidan Smith and Ian Seymour for Tucker and Janek. Thoughts?
Outdoor baseball in South Florida, each game the free giveaway should be a poncho a sombrero and a personal fan.
In an ideal world, would love for the Rays to sign Anthony Santander. But if they could trade for Kyle Tucker (without giving up too much in the way of pitchers) would certainly be in favor of that. Tucker is a 30+ HR, 100+ RBI guy. Not too many of those guys.
(CBA) negotiated in 2022, each MLB team pools 48 per cent of local revenues with the total amount split equally between all 30 teams. This results in $110 million if not more per team. Teams also receive a share of national revenues, totaling around $90 million per team.
Tucker is my favorite player in the league. So underrated, he would have been 40/40 guy last year if not for injury.
Sponsored by FanDuel…. Not even available in Florida 😂😂 how ironic
Can you give us an update on Morel and how he’s going to fit into the Rays 2025 plans.
