The Tampa Bay Rays, along with the Arizona Diamondbacks, are the youngest franchise in MLB, playing their first season in 1998.
Despite making three World Series appearances across their 28-year history, the Rays' future continues to look bright. Following a consistent playoff run from 2019 to 2023, they reached the World Series in 2026, ultimately finishing as runners-up following a 1-4 series defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Rays are in the AL East division where they compete against the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles, and Boston Red Sox.
