The Tampa Bay Rays are getting set for the start of a new year, and while there are still things for the franchise to accomplish, they have to be excited about the future with a budding superstar on the roster. 

It has certainly been an eventful offseason so far for the Rays. This is a team that has been active both in free agency and the trade market, making moves to help in the short-term and the long-term. Tampa Bay is a franchise that can operate both as a buyer and a seller, and it is one of the reasons why they have been able to sustain success. 

As the team continues to try to improve this winter to set themselves up for success in 2026, they will be bringing back some key talent that they hope will lead them into a new, successful era. In 2025, one of the most significant takeaways for the team was the emergence of a new star for the franchise, and the hope is that he is just getting started. 

Adam Berry of MLB recently predicted that Rays star Junior Caminero would have another year with 40 home runs and 100+ RBI.
