The Tampa Bay Rays have long been a popular free agent destination for players looking to rehabilitate their value.
This is not because the Rays will shell out top dollar to land the marquee players on the market, or guarantee them long term contracts. No, players tend to choose Tampa Bay due to the team itself; their always progressive thinking front office that finds that be ways to enhance a player’s abilities and get the most of out a player during his time with the team.
They have done this so many times in the past with the Joaquin Benoit, Jeff Keppinger, Logan Morrsion, Wilson Ramos, and now Avisail Garcia, who is boasting a 131 wRC+ this season.
