Sun Sports to show 150 Tampa Bay Rays games, expand pregame show

Sun Sports today announced a 150-game schedule of Tampa Bay Rays telecasts, along with the addition of a full 30-minute pregame show for all road games.

No longer included is Angela Jacobs.

Sun Sports will also produce nine episodes of Inside the Rays. A preseason special will air March 25.
