The Vero Beach Devil Rays are a Single-A Minor League Baseball team in the Florida State League based in Vero Beach, Florida. They are an affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. The team was previously known as the Vero Beach Dodgers for 27 years until switching affiliations prior to the 2007 season. The team's mascot is a Grapefruit named "Squeeze".

The Vero Beach team plays its home games at Holman Stadium. Completed for the 1953 season, the park seats 6,500 fans. It is also where the Los Angeles Dodgers currently hold their spring training. Holman Stadium is the only minor league stadium to boast a facility without any covered dugouts. The players sit on aluminum benches in the dugout area. The unique feature makes Holman Stadium one of the most fan-friendly complexes in all of baseball.

Although its Major League club changed its name from the "Tampa Bay Devil Rays" to the "Tampa Bay Rays" following the 2007 season, the Vero Beach Devil Rays will not change their name, colors or logos to match.
