Despite the newness of the team, there are some Tampa Bay Devil Rays team members that have already stood out. For instance, there is much talk on the Tampa Bay Devil Rays choice of Kevin Lynn and his ability to play. Matt Spring was one of the top Tampa Bay Devil Rays draft picks of 2004.

The Tampa Bay Devil Rays were started after the Atlanta Braves former assistant general manager was named the senior vice president of baseball operations and general manager. They played in minor league games during the 1996 season, and got 35 players during the Expansion Draft in 1997, and several star players joined the team prior to the start of the 1998 season. Their first game was in 1998 against the Detroit Tigers.

Unfortunately, to date the Tampa Bay Devil Rays have not done well. They have not had a single winning season, and finished last in their division the first 5 years they were in it, and the team has done little to distinguish itself.

However, there is hope on the horizon. $10 million in improvements was made to Tropicana Field, including a 10,000 gallon tank that is home to 30 live rays. Other changes, like free parking for home games, tailgating in the parking lot, and allowing food to be brought in is hoped to generate interest among the fans. The name of the team will also be shortened to the Tampa Bay Rays after the 2007 season.
