As one looks out over the free agent landscape, it is surprising as to how many players are still available. Players like Mike Napoli and Matt Wieters are still out on the market; their expected windfall not likely to occur. Instead, these players may be looking for one year deals, taking what they can get before testing their luck yet again next year.
This surprisingly slow market for mid tier free agents could prove to be a boon for the Tampa Bay Rays. Although they added Logan Morrison at first base, and brought in Rickie Weeks as a possible utility player, the Rays are still on the lookout for another bat.
