Not much news today from Port Charlotte on day four of Rays Spring Training. There are nine days left until the Grapefruit League opener against the Twins and 43 days until the regular season opener against the Yankees at the Trop.

The MLB Network announced today that it will broadcast five games televised by the Rays opponents: March 6th vs. Minnesota, March 7th at the Yankees, March 10th at Boston, March 26th at Minnesota, and April 1st at Baltimore.
