The 2000 Tampa Bay Devil Rays season was their third since the franchise was created. They finished last in the American League East with a record of 69–92. Their manager was Larry Rothschild, who entered his third year with the club. This season is sometimes referred to by rays' fans as the "Hit Show" because the club signed several big-name sluggers in hopes of the team putting up better offensive numbers.
