Will 2025 Be Pete Fairbanks' Last Year with the Rays? | Locked On Rays

Last season, the Rays’ bullpen ranked among the best in the league in ERA (9th, 3.73), saves (4th, 51), and WHIP (6th, 1.19). But they also allowed the second-most homers (82) and finished just 10th in strikeouts (619). With a mix of returning fireballers and intriguing new arms, Tampa Bay is rebuilding its relief corps with power in mind.In this episode, we break down the bullpen battles, the impact of new additions like Alex Faedo and Eric Orze, and whether high-velocity arms like Mason Montgomery, Hunter Bigge, and Manny Rodríguez can cement their spots. Plus, we discuss Pete Fairbanks’ future, Kevin Cash’s thoughts on velocity, and how roster decisions could shake out as Opening Day approaches.Will the Rays’ bullpen become a dominant force in 2024?
