Rays find reasons for optimism despite disappointing postseason

The Tampa Bay Rays started the season 13-0 while outscoring opponents 101-30; the team finished 0-2 and could only muster one run when it mattered the most.

In April, many fans thought 2023 could be the year for a long-awaited World Series boat parade in St. Petersburg. Instead, the Rays’ postseason spanned just two days and concluded with a 7-1 thumping by the Texas Rangers Oct. 4 for a two-game sweep in the American League Wild Card Series.
