It’s a long climb up the Tampa Bay Rays minor league system to get to Triple-Durham. Once you are there, the next big step is a spot on the Rays’ forty-man roster.
Only a few make the big league roster and not all of those players end up in the majors. This season only Jacob Faria, Dylan Floro, Ryan Brett, Taylor Motter, Richie Shaffer and Mikie Mahtook have reached Triple-A and are on the forty-man roster.
