History
They reached their first World Series in 2008, the same year they became simply the 'Rays.' Running one of the league's smallest payrolls, they've stayed contenders by pioneering data-driven baseball — defensive shifts, the opener, and more.
FactJi-Man Choi was the everyday first baseman here from 2018 to 2022 and hit the first postseason home run by a Korean batter.
