The Tampa Bay Rays head into the hot stove season looking to augment a team that is coming off a 96 win season. The team could see relatively little turnover compared to recent seasons, but they’ve also shown a willingness to think outside the box trying to improve the roster.
The first public projections for the 2020 season come from Steamer. FanGraphs uses these projections in their Depth Charts. The Rays sit with the fifth most expected fWAR at 45.7. With a base of 48 win replacement level that would put the Rays at 93.7 wins.
