ST. PETERSBURG — There will be roster turnover this offseason, because there is always roster turnover during the offseason.
The Rays will be looking for help in the infield and the outfield, despite the current glut of outfielders on the roster. The bullpen, of course, is always a work in process.
Don’t think the kids up here in September aren’t aware of this, that it’s possible the Rays leave Port Charlotte in April with infielder Richie Shaffer or outfielder Mikie Mahtook and reliever Andrew Bellatti on the roster, or a combination of the three.
“I try not to think about it at all,” Bellatti said.
