FULL SHOW, Thursday, April 9, 2026

It was a packed and high-energy Thursday edition of The Drive with TKras as we dove into everything Tampa Bay sports fans need to know. We kicked things off with a deep look at the Rays and the issues continuing to surface early in the season—what’s going wrong, what needs fixing, and whether there’s reason for concern moving forward. Then, breaking news dropped on the stadium front, and we broke it all down—what’s happening, what it means for the future of the franchise, and how it could all play out. NFL Draft talk heated up as WTSP’s Evan Closky joined the show to give his insight on what the Buccaneers might do with the 15th overall pick. From potential targets to draft strategy, we covered it all. Plus, baseball fans won’t want to miss our conversation with ESPN’s Tim Kurkjian, who brought his signature perspective and storytelling to the show.
