After setbacks in the 2005 season that left them again last place in the division, and tired of what he felt was a non commitment to winning now by the ownership group, Lou Piniella agreed to a buy out of the last year of his contract. They finished 67-95 overall, making them 39-34 since the All-Star Break after a 28-61 start. The Rays continued to play spoilers in the second half, with a winning record, and timely victories over contenders such as the New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
