The Tampa Bay Rays finished the 2024 season with an 80-82 record, placing fourth in the AL East. Their pitching staff excelled, ranking 9th in ERA, but the offense struggled significantly, with several key players underperforming.
Notable pitching performances came from Zack Littell and Ryan Pepiot, while the offense saw limited success from Jose Cabellero and Brandon Lowe. However, many hitters, including Randy Arozarena and Josh Lowe, faced challenges, leading to a lackluster season overall.
Looking ahead, the Rays will have to address their offensive needs, especially with key free agents and several question marks in the lineup. The return of injured pitchers like Shane McClanahan offers hope for a stronger rotation in 2025.
