The Tampa Bay Rays are in an extremely enviable situation that also could become a source if trouble in that they have one starting pitcher too many. Entering camp, the Rays currently have the following arms* projected for the rotation (Games Started, Games pitched):
- LHP Shane McClanahan (74 GS, 74 G since 2021)
- RHP Drew Rasmussen (50 GS, 87 G since 2021)
- RHP Zack Littell (43 GS, 57 G since 2023)
- RHP Ryan Pepiot (26 GS, 26 G in 2024)
- RHP Taj Bradley (25 GS, 25 G in 2024)
- RHP Shane Baz (14 GS, 14 G in 2024)
Are all six vying for the starting rotation?
