The official MLB Twitter account certainly took an interesting approach to promoting the Red Sox-Rays American League Division Series.
In a pregame tweet, MLB billed the best-of-five slate as "The TB12 Series" and posted a graphic of -- you guessed it -- Tom Brady. The current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, who played two decades for the New England Patriots, was decked out in a split Red Sox-Rays jersey.
Sure, Tampa Bay can claim Brady now. And MLB lucked out on the timing of it given the real "TB12" game -- if it's going to exist at all -- came Sunday when the Buccaneers played the New England Patriots. But it still feels like a major reach.
Regardless of what you want to call it, the Red Sox and Rays will go head-to-head in the postseason for the first time since 2013 beginning Thursday at 8:07 p.m. ET.
