The 2021 (and only 2021) Tampa Bay Rays

Just grabbed the OOTP22 beta, and will be playing the 2021 Tampa Bay Rays season out here. This of course is separate and apart from my long-running Rays dynasty, currently in 2031. I will transfer that over to OOTP22 during the 2031-32 offseason as well. The plan is to just play out the 2021 season as I don't have the time or inclination to play out multiple dynasties in the manner I've done the main one (edit: HA!). Nevertheless I'm going to treat my play-out of the season as if I was going to continue to keep playing so I'm not going to act as if there's no tomorrow and, say, trade Wander Franco and Vidal Brujan etc. so I can build a mega-team to try to win it all this year.

I'm not going to get into roster configuration, etc. as this is in beta which means the 40-man isn't filled out, but the 26-man roster which came with the game looks pretty realistic (although it isn't accounting for the current Ji-Man Choi injury, so I just held him out of the opening day lineup). I'm not going to try to parallel what the real team does in terms of moves, etc. - once the season starts we're in our own parallel universe.

NOTE (5/29): The "only 2021" part turned out to be a lie, I felt compelled to keep going into 2022 and I'll probably keep going beyond.
