About

Trop Talk is an independent blog dedicated to the Tampa Bay Rays. Our main goal is to provide analytical viewpoints from more of a baseball side and discuss issues that concern the team. We plan to share with our readers a different perspective while also giving news updates, links, and any other information relevant to the Rays.

Trop Talk is brought to you by Brett Ballard and Adrian Martinez. Both are long time Tampa residents and current students at the University of Tampa. Ballard and Martinez are also season ticket holders and have been around the game of baseball since their earliest memory.

The site will occasionally have some contributing writers from people who know the team well and can add diversity in the viewpoints and analysis presented.

We are open to all discussions Rays related, site related, and all tips are welcomed. troptalk@gmail.com
