On the newest episode of Rays Your Voice, we take a look at some external options the Rays might pursue to upgrade a historically bad offense in 2024. The three positions mentioned specifically by Erik Neander were catcher, shortstop, and center field.
Alex Jackson was DFA late last season and has since landed with Cincinnati, so that’s one opening to fill. We discuss names such as Danny Jansen, Max Stassi, and former Ray Travis d’Arnaud as potential targets.
Rays shortstop Taylor Walls is still on the roster now, but if Neander is looking to upgrade that position offensively, his plan for 2025 cannot be Walls with Jose Caballero as the understudy.
