Joel JanecekHOST
In the expansion draft on November 18, 1997, the Devil Rays acquired their first player and pitcher, Tony Saunders.
Joel JanecekHOST
Among the team's 34 other draft picks were future star outfielder Bobby Abreu, However, Abreu was soon dealt to the Philadelphia Phillies for utility infielder Kevin Stocker in a trade generally regarded among the worst in recent MLB history.
Joel JanecekHOST
The team acquired several veteran stars in trades or free agent signings before their first season, including pitcher Wilson Alvarez and two Tampa natives and first baseman Fred McGriff, the crime dog, and third baseman Wade Boggs, both future members of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Joel JanecekHOST
So, yeah, interesting history there.
Adam DarowskiGUEST
I think the game has been moving towards more data, more information, a little bit more analysis.
Adam DarowskiGUEST
And I think the part we play in it is just making that accessible to the everyday fan who is like looking up a player and wants to know, like, what's Bobby Abreu's deal? You know, that type of thing.
Russell ChristianHOST

Tom BurgoyneHOST
You asked a great question, 'cause I just recently heard the, uh, the episode about, uh, how did he become such a, a guy who, who could figure out a pitcher's tells? And, uh, he gave us a little insight that Bobby Abreu was the guy.
John BrazerHOST
Yeah.
Tom BurgoyneHOST
Bobby Abreu, uh, discovered something, pointed it out at a game sitting next to Chase in a dugout, and Chase was like, "Oh my gosh," like, "Really? You can tell the guy's gonna throw a curve ball here?" [laughs] And so he became a student of that.
