Matt Joyce
Joyce owns one of the smoothest left-handed swings in franchise history, but he may want to watch out, because Tyler Glasnow is coming for this spot.

James Loney
Loney didn’t do anything spectacular during his three years with the Rays, but he was a solid first baseman and helped the club reach the postseason in 2013.

Chris Archer
He’s one of the best pitchers in franchise history, and he served as the face of the franchise through some of its harder struggles in the mid-2010s.

Carlos Peña
Jake Odorizzi, Julio Lugo and Greg Vaughn also wore Michael Jordan’s No. 23, but Peña’s 46 home runs in 2007 make him the best No. 23.
