The Tampa Bay Rays have been a starting pitching factory in recent years. There have been some incredibly talented hurlers developed in their system that have produced some impressive numbers in their rotation.
In recent history, Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow were both major trade chips. Shane McClanhan, before his injuries, was a multi-time All-Star. Drew Rasmussen was an All-Star this year.
Starting pitching looks to be a strength for the Rays heading into the offseason. Not only is their rotation talented, but outside of McClanahan, they have also proven to be durable.
Shane Baz, Ryan Pepiot and Rasmussen all made 31 starts in 2025. Had Taj Bradley and Zach Littell not been traded ahead of the deadline, their entire rotation would have made it through the campaign without injury.
