Ever noticed it’s easier to talk to someone with a cup of coffee in your hand? 

In our newest Rays All Access we sit down for coffee & conversation with Rays starting pitcher, @drew_rasmussen.

How does the Rays starter take his coffee?

☕️Straight black. But used to love White Mochas before he cut those out to lose weight after 2 TJ surgeries.

What’s he like on start days?

🧩Crossword puzzles and admittedly cheating off @jalenbeeks who’s the crossword master.

How did he react to being traded to the Rays, which ended up being the best thing?

🫂JP Feyereisen was right there with him and showed him the ropes when he was in shock. 

👌🏻 Is he a perfectionist? Or just tough on himself? 

All things that have made Drew into a crucial piece to this Rays rotation. 

Our in-depth conversation over coffee airs Saturday after the game on @BallyRays 

Special thanks to @stevierasmussen for the pictures you’ll see in the episode of her and Drew’s journey through the year💕
