Below is a 28-player roster for the Tampa Bay Rays. The manager is Joe Maddon.
Our selections are based on performance, impact on the franchise, and tenure.
We are picking a TEAM, not simply the 28 best players in franchise history. This roster is intended to be a representation of how a manager would use these players in a lineup and on a pitching staff.
