| TAMPA BAY RAYS NICKNAMES | ||
| Player/Manager/Exec. | Nickname(s) | Reason for nickname(s) |
| Chris Archer | Big Tree | After one particularly rough stretch, Chris Archer spoke to the media after a game and spoke about how trees sometimes need a little weather to grow. After that, Archer took off and grew. |
| Grant Balfour | The Mad Australian | Well, he is Australian and he is crazy and might just tell you to SIT THE F*** DOWN! if he strikes you out in a big spot. |
| Alex Colome | Big Horse | He got busted taking horse steroids and then gave himself this nickname. Seriously. |
| John Jaso | Dyn-O-Mite! | His initials are J.J.. Ask your parents. |
| Desmond Jennings | Flash | He is fast (duh), but he also shows flashes of power. And in 2011, when the Rays need somebody to save their universe, Jennings came up and did just that |
| Kevin Kiermaier | The Outlaw | Based on the way he plays the outfield. He claims somebody not named Kevin Kiermaier in the minors came up with it. I am skeptical. |
| Evan Longoria | Dirtbag | Longoria played college baseball at Long Beach St whose mascot for the baseball team is "The Dirtbags". Longoria is also a throwback player that would find a way to get his uniform dirty in a sterile environment |
