Littell was solid for the Rays in 2024, posting a 4.10 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 141 strikeouts in 156 1/3 innings. He will likely be a member of the Rays' rotation in 2025, but with Shane McClanahan and Drew Rasmussen returning from injury, the Rays will either have to move to a six-man rotation or dump one starter. This will be a situation to monitor in spring training.
