This is one of the worst trades I've ever seen. The Rays got fleeced.
David Price for these two players, Smyly and Nick Franklin?

Heard that... The Rays basically gave him away
But what can ya do when your sh!tty fans wont attend games & support them!
I've been a Tampa Bay Bucs fan, and Tampa Bay fan in general, since 7 years old, but Tampa area residents suck when it comes to being supporting-fans, plain and simple.
The Rays have put up competitive teams for years with no money to work with but Tampa fans still don't appreciate it and won't support the team...
The Rays have done an amazing job through the years.
Every time they have a solid player or players, they have to let him/them go because they can't afford them anymore due to the lack of support.
But somehow they manage to replace those players with more good players.
Every time they managed to do this, it's like they are buying time, thinking that eventually the fans & revenue will come to keep their star players.
But it's not going to happen and in my opinion the owner needs to move on to a city who will appreciate a team...

I've been to 3 ray's game the last few years. The fan support is basically zero. It's embarrassing. The venue is a huge POS. They definitely need to move that franchise to some place like :
1) Las Vegas
2) Indianapolis
3) Louisville
4) San Antonio
5) Charlotte
6) maybe a South Carolina city

But Fox 13 Tampa Bay (@MyFoxTampaBay) earned some flak for this tweet after the Detroit Tigers traded for Tampa Bay Rays left-hander David Price, comparing Detroit to Tampa Bay:
Ouch.
That tweet has since been deleted, with a fun apology. And for what it's worth, Fox 2 Detroit had a pretty good rebuttal:
