The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are a Major League Baseball team based in St. Petersburg, Florida. The team is in the East Division of the American League. The team was added to the league in 1998 as an expansion team, and currently plays its home games in Tropicana Field.

File:Devilrays.jpg Tampa and St. Petersburg had a rich history in minor league baseball and as spring training sites of MLB teams before the advent of the Devil Rays. Both cities were longtime members of the Florida State League, and Tampa also had a club in the higher-classification Florida International League during that league's existence in the 1940s and 1950s. In addition, Tampa was for many years the spring home of the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds, while St. Petersburg hosted the New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Mets.

The Tampa-St. Petersburg area made many attempts to acquire a baseball team before receiving the Devil Rays in the 1998 expansion. A critical issue was a lack of a stadium for the team to play in. Florida Suncoast Dome was built in 1990 to satisfy this need. The dome was built before an expansion team or relocation had been announced. It was built to attract an existing team. Recognizing this fact, however, Major League Baseball tried to dissuade St. Petersburg from proceeding. [1]

The Minnesota Twins expressed interest in moving to Tampa in 1984, before the team was sold to local businessman Carl Pohlad. [2]

Another shot at baseball came in 1992 when San Francisco Giants owner Bob Lurie agreed in principle to sell the team to a Tampa Bay-based group, who would then move the team to the Suncoast Dome (Tropicana's former name). A press conference was announced, uniforms were drawn up, and tickets were about to be printed. However, at the last minute, MLB's owners vetoed the move under pressure from San Francisco city officials. The Giants were eventually sold to a local San Francisco group that built AT&T Park.

There was a lot of bitterness in Tampa Bay, especially at Florida Marlins owner Wayne Huizenga, who voted against the move. Angry at MLB about the Giants, group leader Vince Naimoli threatened a lawsuit. Baseball decided to have another expansion in 1995, this time admitting Naimoli's group and a group from Phoenix (the Arizona Diamondbacks).

The Dome finally had a team, but the stadium was now out of date. Naimoli needed more than $70 million US from the city in renovations. Although the city authorized the money, some residents were disapointed that the regional name Tampa Bay was chosen over recognition of the team's actual home city.

From their inception in 1998, the Devil Rays have yet to be major contenders, finishing in last place in the American League East every year from 1998 to 2003. They also acquired solid veterans, and even future Hall of Famers such as Wade Boggs. However, by the time they came to the Devil Rays franchise, their best years were behind them. Players such as Vinny Castilla, José Canseco and Fred McGriff were not able to help the team finish better than last place.

In 2003, the team signed manager Lou Piniella (a Tampa native), a proven manager who led the Cincinnati Reds to a World Championship in 1990 and then helped the Seattle Mariners become competitive in the mid-1990s. Piniella's first team still finished last, but was seven games better than Hal McRae's 2002 team.

Expectations were low for the team entering the 2004 season, but the team surprised most baseball experts by compiling a 42-41 record (.506) in their first 83 games (thanks in large part to a twelve game winning streak), staying within 5 games for the American League wild card, a remarkable feat considering the team was 18 games below .500 at one point. However, the team soon returned to its losing ways, finishing the 2004 season with a record of 70-91, the best in team history, and in 4th place in the American League East, also a team best.

After setbacks in the 2005 season that left them again last place in the division, and tired of what he felt was an insufficient commitment to winning by the ownership group, Piniella agreed to a buy out of the last year of his contract. Though the team went on a tear after the All-Star Break and played above .500 for the remainder of the season, they finished 67-95 overall. The Rays continued to play spoilers in the second half, with a winning record and timely victories over contenders such as the New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Immediately after the season ended, Stuart Sternberg, who bought into the ownership group in 2000, took over from Naimoli as managing general partner, thus taking over executive control of the team. He immediately fired Chuck LaMar, who had been the team's general manager since the team's first season, and most of the front office. Matt Silverman was named as team president, and Andrew Friedman took the role of Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations. Gerry Hunsicker, former General Manager of the Houston Astros, has taken over as Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations, and will advise Friedman. Sternberg has decided not to have a de jure General Manager, calling the position "outdated", and Friedman and Hunsicker will share that role at MLB functions. [3]

The team may have also set the tone for future contention with the play of young stars and up and coming players such as outfielders Carl Crawford, Jonny Gomes, Infielder Jorge Cantu (who hit 28 home runs and drove in 117 runs in his rookie season of 2005) and pitcher Scott Kazmir (who finished in the top 5 in the American League in strikeouts). In 2006, the Rays also should have center fielder Rocco Baldelli back, who missed the 2005 season with injuries, along with super prospects Delmon Young and BJ Upton. The next manager has tools to work with provided the new ownership group spends the money necessary for the team to contend.

Despite a good recovery at the end of the 2005 season, Lou Piniella decided not to return as manager. In December 2005, Joe Maddon was announced as the new manager for the Devil Rays.

Although Sternberg has committed to keeping the team in Tampa Bay, rumors have begun to surface that he may change the name of the team in the near future. It was later stated that any name change would not come until after the 2007 season. A poll of season ticket holders suggested that the change may be as simple as the term "Devil" being dropped, making the team the "Tampa Bay Rays". [4]

The chosen slogan for the 2006 season is "We come to play".

On April 10, 2006, the official attendance at Tropicana Field for the Rays' home opener was over 40,000 making it the highest turnout since the 1998 Inaugural Season Home Opener.

On April 26, in a game against the Pawtucket Red Sox, Delmon Young was ejected from the first inning of a game for the Triple-A Durham Bulls for arguing a third strike, and struck the umpire in his chest protector with his bat. He was suspended indefinitely the next day by the International League pending an investigation, which ultimately resulted in a 50-game suspension without pay and a minimum 50 hours of community service. [5] This is considered a big setback, as Young is one of the Devil Rays' top prospects, and was expected to see time in the Majors this season.

On June 20, 2006 the Rays made their first trade of the season sending outfielder Joey Gathright and infielder Fernando Cortez to the Kansas City Royals for pitcher J.P. Howell. The Rays then traded pitcher Mark Hendrickson and catcher Toby Hall to the Los Angeles Dodgers for pitcher Jae Seo and 22-year old catcher Dioner Navarro on June 27. On July 12, long-time Ray Aubrey Huff was traded to the Houston Astros for shortstop Ben Zobrist and pitcher Mitch Talbot. Finally, on the July 31 trading deadline, the Rays acquired minor league prospects Joel Guzman and Sergio Pedroza from the Dodgers for shortstop Julio Lugo.

On July 22, Tampa Bay scored ten runs in the fifth inning of a 13-12 win over the Baltimore Orioles, the first time they ever scored double-digit runs in a single inning. During that inning, there were 11 Rays hits, including three home runs: Julio Lugo twice (both times driving in Dioner Navarro), and Russell Branyan (driving in Ty Wigginton and Greg Norton). The team got a collective cycle in the first four at-bats (Branyan double, Navarro single, Lugo home run, Carl Crawford triple), and only Travis Lee and Jorge Cantu failed to reach base. On top of that, they weathered a nine-run seventh inning by the Orioles.

At the All-Star Break, Tampa Bay was only 11 games under the .500 mark (39-50). They have struggled since that time, mostly due to the trades of veterans for prospects, injuries (especially to Ty Wigginton), and slumps by several players (notably Jonny Gomes and Jorge Cantu). On the positive side, the average home attendance was up 28% over 2005 [6], as of August 18.
