Tampa Bay Rays: Breaking Down the 60-Man Player Pool

The Tampa Bay Rays have released the names of the players that make up their 60-man player pool for the 2020 season.

Tampa Bay Rays News: The team has released its list of 60 players that will make up the player pool for the 2020 season.

Players on the 60-man roster will be eligible to be called up for injuries or should a round of illness hit the team.

The team will have to clear a spot on the 40-man roster to callup a player that is on the 60-man player pool but not on the 40-man.

Prospects will only earn service time if they are added to the active roster during the season.

Per MLB.com, the team will host two separate “spring training 2.0” or “summer camps” for players on the 60-man player pools to compete for a spot on the opening day 30-man active rosters.
