Tampa Bay Rays' GM Andrew Friedman On "Baseball Talk" Radio

Exclusive interview with Tampa Rays' GM and Executive VP of Baseball Operations, Andrew Friedman this Sunday (2/10) at 12:00 PM EST.

Entering his third season overseeing Tampa's baseball operations, Andrew Friedman has added to and helped speed up the improvement of the great talent base he inherited from former GM Chuck Lamar after the 2005 season.

Among some of Friedman's early successes have been the development of long time prospect B.J. Upton, the revitalization of the career of 2007 Most Improved Player Carlos Pena, the continued progress of ace left handed pitcher Scott Kazmir, and the low-cost addition of former Japanese player Akinori Iwamura.

One of Friedman's first moves was to hire a man who had never been a full-time manager in the majors to lead his incredibly young team. So far, so good as the young Rays' players have responded extremely well to Joe Maddon.

Two of Friedman's most important moves to date have been the drafting of left handed stud pitcher David Price in last year's draft and his recent blockbuster deal that sent the multi-talented outfielder Delmon Young to the Twins for top young right hander Matt Garza.

The Rays' system is loaded, the lineup should once again be the youngest in the AL, and the future looks bright for Friedman and his Tampa Bay Rays.
