We can only hope.

Roycroft will probably save 60 games for the Rays next season.

Robert Ludlum's dreariest novel.

The player to be named later in the Roycroft trade is Trey Pooser.

Pooser, a 6’4″ right-hander, was the Rays’ 10th-round pick in 2024. The University of Kentucky product was a senior sign who landed a $72K bonus. Pooser has moved mostly to the bullpen in pro ball. He has divided the season between two A-ball levels, turning in a 3.44 ERA across 49 2/3 innings. He has a modest 21% strikeout rate while limiting walks to a 6% clip.

Roycroft has made four appearances since the trade. He has allowed six runs in eight innings, surrendering a home run to Carlos Narváez in a mop-up appearance this afternoon at Fenway Park. He’d pitched seven times for St. Louis this season before being designated for assignment.

Pooser is a prospect, not a great one, but an interesting arm. Was once a heralded recruit who should've signed out of HS (like most prospects).

There are some fun puns that 13 y/o Phins would have come up with.

Just getting rid of roycroft was a win, so this is fantastic lol
