The Tampa Bay Rays have the offseason coming up right around the corner and the team will be focused on improving and bouncing back from a 2025 campaign that saw the team finish under .500. The Rays have been a very consistent franchise despite having a low payroll. A significant reason for that has been their ability to identify and develop talent. 

This winter, the team will have numerous veterans whom they might elect to move. Players like Pete Fairbanks, Yandy Diaz, and Brandon Lowe are a couple of the more obvious choices. Due to their contracts ending soon, the formula for Tampa Bay has been to trade these types of players before losing them for nothing. 

Doing this has allowed the Rays to continue to have a top farm system in the game year after year. Recently, some of their young talent has really been able to break out with third baseman Junior Caminero having a monster season in 2025.Â
