Question: when did the tampa bay devil rays change their name
Answer: Following the 2007 season , Stuart Sternberg , who had purchased controlling interest in the team from Vince Naimoli two years earlier , changed the team 's name from `` Devil Rays '' to `` Rays '' , now meant to primarily refer to a burst of sunshine rather than a manta ray , though a manta ray logo remains on the uniform sleeves .
