PORT CHARLOTTE — Logan Forsythe will bat leadoff for the Rays this season. Or, at the very least, he will be at the top of the order when the season begins this Sunday.
Rays manager Kevin Cash has made that official.
As for the eight guys who follow? Well, Cash made that kind of official, too.
“We’re not ready to commit, but there’s a lot of spots in there that will be occupied by the guys we see in there today,” he said before Sunday’s 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Following Forsythe were first baseman Logan Morrison (left-hander), third baseman Evan Longoria, designated hitter Corey Dickerson (lefty), left fielder Desmond Jennings, shortstop Brad Miller (lefty), right fielder Steven Souza Jr.
