The Tampa Bay Rays found themselves headed into 2015 without a clear-cut shortstop, so they took to the open market, signing the best free agent infielder available, Asdrubal Cabrera, to a one-year deal as he looked to rebuild his value. It ended up being a successful venture, as Cabrera posted 2.2 fWAR and had his best offensive season since 2012.
With Cabrera now a free agent, the team finds themselves in a similar situation headed into 2016.
Either Daniel Robertson and Willy Adames still could be the club's shortstop of the future, but Robertson has yet to see Triple-A time and will likely not be an option until late 2016, while Adames is at least a year further behind.
