Matt Duffy’s giant cat won’t be joining him in Tampa Bay

There's one important non-baseball thing to know about Matt Duffy, the 2015 NL Rookie of the Year runner-up who was dealt from the San Francisco Giants to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday at baseball's trade deadline. The cat, who is named Skeeter, is something of a famous baseball pet. It started when Duffy posted a picture with Skeeter, progressed to the point of Skeeter T-shirts and a Skeeter Instagram account.
