Brief History
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays were established in 1998. In the expansion draft the Devil Rays selected Wade Boggs, Fred McGriff and Wilson Alvarez. The highlight of the franchise history would come with the 3,000 career hit by Hall of Fame player Wade Boggs. In 2000, the team would field a lineup which included Fred McGriff, Jose Canseco, Greg Vaughn and Vinny Castilla. But the team was unable to achieve any success. In the following years, the team would shift their focus from signing pricey free agents to developing young talent. In 2008, the Devil Rays would change their name to the Tampa Bay Rays.Tampa Bay Rays Timeline
