TheTampa Bay Rays' 2013 season was the Rays' 16th season ofMajor League Baseball and the sixth as the "Rays" (all atTropicana Field). The Rays hoped to improve upon their 90–72 record and third-place finish from 2012. After 162 games, the Rays had a 91–71 record, but fell into a tie with theTexas Rangers for the last remainingwild card berth. The Rays won in atie-breaker game on September 30 and then beat theCleveland Indians in theALWC Game on October 2. They advanced to play theBoston Red Sox in theALDS, but lost the series in four games.
The Rays decided to pick up the options of starting pitcherJames Shields, closerFernando Rodney, and catcherJosé Molina, while declining the option of designated hitterLuke Scott on October 31, 2012.[1]
Third basemanEvan Longoria was given a six-year, $100 million contract extension on November 26, 2012. This put Longoria under contract with Tampa Bay through the 2022 season, with a team option for 2023.[2][3]
PitchersJames Shields andWade Davis, along with aplayer to be named later (who turned out to beElliot Johnson on February 12[4]), were traded on the night of December 9, 2012 to theKansas City Royals. In return, the Rays acquired four Kansas City prospects: outfielderWil Myers, pitchersJake Odorizzi andMike Montgomery, and third basemanPatrick Leonard.[5]
RelieverKyle Farnsworth was re-signed to a one-year $3 million contract with incentives on January 24.[6]
InfielderReid Brignac was traded to theColorado Rockies on February 14. The Rockies sent cash considerations and a player to be named later.[7]
Some of the Rays' losses to free agency included center fielderB. J. Upton, who signed a five-year, $75.25 million deal with theAtlanta Braves.[8] The Rays had previously offered Upton a one-year $13.3 million qualifying offer in order to receive draft pick compensation should Upton not re-sign.[9] The Rays also lost infielderJeff Keppinger when he signed a three-year, $12 million agreement with theChicago White Sox on December 5, 2012.[10] RelieverJ. P. Howell signed with theLos Angeles Dodgers for one year and $2.85 million, plus $1.2 million in performance bonuses, on January 6.[11]
