FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — For many of the nearly 28 years since the Tampa Bay Rays held their inaugural game in St. Petersburg’s domed stadium, they have been looking for a bigger, better deal.

Mike Tirico has enough on his plate.

The NBC Sports frontman is already the lead voice for the network’s Sunday Night Football package, will call Sunday Night Basketball once NBC’s premier NBA package tips off next month, hosts primetime coverage of the Olympics, and is the lead anchor for the Kentucky Derby. Tirico might have superhuman abilities to juggle these responsibilities, but even the best in the business need a break once in awhile. So when asked whether or not he would be interested in calling games on NBC’s new Sunday Night Baseball package, thereby completing the Sunday night sports trifecta, Tirico finally acknowledged his limitations.

Kershaw, a future Hall of Famer and three-time National League Cy Young Award winner, is expected to provide expert analysis on select broadcasts.

With pitchers and catchers reporting tomorrow for a half-dozen teams, players are flying off the board. This morning alone, deals that have been finalized, per sources:

RHP Nick Martinez to the Rays
RHP Erick Fedde to the White Sox
RHP Chris Paddack to the Marlins

More to come.

Rob Thomson told reporters that he does not think that Zack Wheeler will be ready for Opening Day, but should be ready shortly after that.

Wheeler underwent thoracic outlet decompression surgery towards the end of last season.

The Rays have hired four-time Gold Glover Kevin Kiermaier as a consultant to work with their outfielders. He's already in camp with the team and will be helping out all season
