The 2024 Tampa Bay Rays faced a challenging season, finishing fourth in the AL East and ending their five-year postseason streak. Despite a struggling start, notable pitchers like Shane Baz and Jeffrey Springs revived the rotation post All-Star break. However, the team struggled offensively, with key players like Josh Lowe and Yandy Díaz underperforming.

The offseason will require careful navigation as the Rays need to address various weaknesses, particularly in their lineup. Prospects like Junior Caminero offer hope, while established pitchers are returning from injuries. Strengthening their offensive capabilities will be crucial for a return to success in 2025.
