The Rays 2018 success came on the heels of a number of breakout performances. While many of them came from the influx of younger players, perhaps one of the more intriguing and lesser discussed standout seasons was had by 31-year-old slider virtuoso and GIF machine Chaz Roe.
You might say it was an unexpected ‘twist.’ Hmmm... Swing and a miss.
When Roe was acquired by the Rays in 2017 from the Atlanta Braves, it was his sixth organization in his five-year major league career. Additionally, he was traded mid-season for the second consecutive year.
