The Tampa Bay Rays once again had a shrewd trade in 2022 (what else is new?!) by obtaining Harold Ramirez for Minor Leaguer Esteban Quiroz. Harold turned out to put up a very unexpected productive season for the Rays, even though he was out later in the season from a hit by pitch.

Was that the career year for Harold Ramirez? Is it possible the Rays trade him and sell high? Or is he someone they can platoon at an unstable position like 1B and move him to DH and COF?

The Tampa Bay Rays said goodbye to a couple of familiar fan favorite players in both Ji-Man Choi by trading him to Pittsburgh and Kevin Kiermaier by declining the $13M team option. Having debuted with the Rays as a defensive replacement in 2013, KK has been a fixture for Rays fans to cheer. How does this affect the clubhouse? Who will step up and be the clubhouse leader from the position player pool?

Let us know who you think that will be in the comments!

The Tampa Bay Rays certainly struggled in 2022 offensively. In fact, they dropped in run scored by 200! However, one player that defied the inability to produce offensively was Yandy Diaz. Putting up career numbers in many metrics, while mostly staying healthy, it should not be controversial to say Yandy Diaz was the Rays MVP in 2022.

Do you think he was? Let us know in the comments!

Tampa Bay Rays hurler Drew Rasmussen twirled a tremendous debut season as a full-time starter in 2022. Becoming the essential number 2 of the staff, Drew earned August Pitcher of the Month this season after almost completing a Perfect Game.
