The Tampa Bay Rays category covers the American League franchise from the major-league club through its player-development system. Florida Sports Blog follows games, roster moves, injuries, prospects, trades and the MLB Draft, with Durham, Montgomery, Bowling Green and Charleston nested beneath the Rays as the organization's full-season affiliates. The Rays began play in 1998 as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and adopted the shorter Rays identity for the 2008 season.
