WHO'S CHAIRMAN OF THE (CORNHOLE) BOARD: If you thought that a clubhouse would be tight after dropping a spring contest, you'd be sorely mistake, but you'd be even more wrong if you think the outcome of a Grapefruit League contest means anything to the Rays

Pitchers Blake Snell and Brent Honeywell engaged in a spirited game of cornhole, complete with a heavy amount of trash talking between the two.

Honeywell, the Georgia native, shut out Snell in the first game before playing a second game left-handed.
