The Tampa Bay Rays have a history of building successful starting rotations, despite challenges such as injuries and limited payroll. They consistently find talented pitchers to fill their rotation, and their success continues into 2024. While they may not have a true ace pitcher, they have a strong foundation of veterans and potential in their young pitchers. The Rays have made trades to bring in promising pitchers while managing their budget, and this strategy has paid off in the past. They are confident in their staff and believe they have players who will strengthen the rotation. However, they acknowledge that it will be a work in progress, with pitchers like Shane Baz and Ryan Pepiot needing to prove themselves.
