Tampa Bay Rays interested in adding INF Matt Davidson as two way player

According to a report from Ken Rosenthal, the Tampa Bay Rays are interested in adding infielder and part-time pitcher Matt Davidson to their roster as a potential two way player.

The ever-creative #Rays are looking at free agent Matt Davidson as a potential two-way addition, sources say. Brendan McKay, the team’s No. 2 prospect per @MLBPipeline and fourth overall pick in 2017 draft, reached High A last season as a first baseman and left-handed pitcher.

Davidson, who will turn 28 in March, has some power at the plate but struggles with an elevated strike out rate.
