I am not exactly why I used the word ‘topple’ in that title, to be quite honest. The Tampa Bay Rays just won 40 games - the second most of any team in all MLB in 2020 - and made the World Series in the process. The New York Yankees did neither of those things last season, and while they are certainly still incredibly formidable foes for the Rays in the AL East, lest we forget that Tampa won 96 and 90 games in the previous two seasons, respectively, as well.
Tampa is good.
