Is there a franchise in sports that over performs more than the Tampa Bay Rays?

Since 2008 they have 8 90 win seasons. Not including 2020, a shortened season they would have won 90, and they are well on pace to win 90 this year. I don't pay much attention to them, but had no idea they were that successful. That stadium should be selling out.

They're quietly one of the best run organizations in probably all of sports, at least with what they have to work with.
The problem is Tropicana sucks and is way out of the way from Tampa, so nobody goes, thereby limiting their revenue.
If they had an established stadium in the city and a little more money from ownership, they'd probably have multiple rings

They’ve had a great run of GM’s starting with Andrew Friedman. I think even their post Friedman GMs have stayed with the team. They’re very well run.

Spurs maybe? Although not lately

It must suck to know that while your team constantly overachieves, they’re actually way too cheap to ever win a WS.

Obviously a very small sample size, but holy shite the Golden Knights in the NHL couldn’t possibly be more well run in the first few years of their existence.

And they usually play in a bear of a division.

The Indians/Guardians are up there. They are extremely competitive every season despite having most of the same payroll constraints as Tampa Bay.

I just got back from seeing the Braves there last weekend and I’ve never seen more expensive concessions at a baseball stadium. My guess was that was part of the way they make up for lack of ticket revenue.

The Spurs have won 5 titles since 1999.

Think everyone else pretty much nailed it, they scout and develop very well, stadium sucks.
The only negative I hold against them are the current uniforms and name. They should have stayed the Devil Rays with their original uniforms

Awesome Thread. I agree. They can take Krispy Kreme doughnuts and turn it into a go cart. Very efficient run operation.
