Miami Heat fans would likely think that meant saying goodbye to the NBA team’s biggest stars, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
But lucky for Florida fans, the house-cleaning this week involved the Tampa Bay Rays and the loss of James Shields and Wade Davis via a trade. Both are great pitchers and valuable parts of the MLB team, but they’re not as vital to that 25-plus-member team’s success as James and Wade are to their 13-player roster, which won the NBA title last year.
Still, Rays manager Joe Maddon was treading in dangerous territory when he tweeted this Monday afternoon.
