MLB Offseason Preview: Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays had the best record in the American League and made it to their second World Series in franchise history. What can they do this offseason to stay on top of the AL and possibly get that ring?

The 2020 Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer is a polarizing figure in baseball. Revered by some and disliked by others, his unapologetic outspokenness on every subject as well as a fiery on-field demeanor practically demands attention. Whichever side of the fence you land on, he would not have it any other way, because he is instantly recognizable.
After a disappointing 2020 campaign, the Boston Red Sox are expected to be busy this offseason. Their primary focus will be the pitching staff, which recorded an ERA of 5.58 last season. Fortunately for the Red Sox, there are many options available with Opening Day still months away.
It has been more than a full month since the last pitch was thrown in the World Series, and even longer since the Cincinnati Reds took the diamond.
The Baltimore Orioles finished the 2020 season 25-35, one game ahead of the Boston Red Sox for last place in the American League East. Although the season wasn’t great, it was certainly a step forward for the O’s after losing over 100 games the last two seasons. What do they need to do to push the rebuild along?
The Milwaukee Brewers made it to October this season with a 29-31 record. They were promptly swept in two games by the eventual champion Los Angeles Dodgers. They should easily be in the playoff conversation again with a few strategic signings.
The Detroit Tigers finished the 2020 season 23-35 and in last place in the tough American League Central. They will have the third pick in next year’s draft behind the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Texas Rangers as they continue the rebuild. What can the Tigers do to be competitive in their division as well as the AL in general?
Free agent Nelson Cruz is one of the best hitters on the market this offseason. While he is strictly a designated hitter at this point, the 40-year-old still mashes with the best of them.
Free agent Joc Pederson is hitting the market for the first time this offseason. While there are bigger fish out there, Pederson can certainly help a team looking for good power from the left side of the plate.
Marcell Ozuna will be a hot commodity this offseason. While he played most of his games at designated hitter last season, Ozuna is still an above-average fielder at each of the corner outfield spots. As one of the premier bats on the market, he should cash in.
It’s been 19 seasons without playoff baseball for the Seattle Mariners. The “Mad Trader” Jerry Dipoto will be entering his sixth offseason as General Manager of the Mariners. What moves do they need to make to finally end the drought?
Free agent pitcher Robbie Ray reached a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
