Rediscovering Talent

Carlos Pena, Rays Firstbaseman. Carlos stormed onto the scene in Tampa after years of failure of major league success. Most teams had given up on the powerful corner infielder, but years later he finally lived up to his potential., and looks to continue his success in 2008. See more Rays players

Time For A Change

Starting in 2008, the Tampa Bay baseball franchise will go by a slightly different name. They will drop the "Devil" part of the name and simply be referred to as the Tampa Bay Rays.
