In some ways the Tampa Bay Rays rotation will look different in 2021, but in some ways it will look very familiar. Blake Snell and Charlie Morton won’t return, but Chris Archer is returning in free agency along with Michael Wacha.
To make it through a season a team will need anywhere between 1,400-1,500 innings to complete 162 games. This year that will look to be a challenge for most teams coming off the short 2020 season and more importantly the lack of 2020 minor league season.

The Rays have four experienced Major League pitchers that will provide some version of bulk innings.
