Rays announce jersey numbers for the 2015 season

Baseball is almost here! It has been a long, grueling and stressful off-season for Rays fans, but now we will get our first look at the Silverman/Cash era Rays in action. New faces will be seen in Port Charlotte, both by the players and coaching staff. To help you keep track of your new favorite Rays player, here is the 2015 Rays by the Numbers guide.

Before we get started a few interesting notes:

- John Jaso will take his old Rays number, 28.

- Asdrubal Cabrera will wear number 13, which was his previous number with the Indians

- 1B Coach Rocco Baldelli informed us earlier this off-season he will take number 15, allowing Brandon Guyer to keep his old 5.

Keep in mind, some players could switch numbers before opening day. I've also added players with no numbers yet at the end of the list. I will continue to update list as needed.
