In a free agent class headlined by superstars Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, the Tampa Bay Rays could swoop in and surprise some teams as they look to spend this offseason rather than sell.
It is still unclear as to whether or not the Rays will attempt to sign a power bat like Cruz, or sign Donaldson to a one year deal, as he looks to rebound from an injury riddled 2018. What is clear is that the Rays will be looking to upgrade at catcher, possibly looking to bring back Wilson Ramos, as well as supplementing their budding superstar Blake Snell with a controllable or veteran starter.
