Mike Zunino will lead the way while Micheal Perez and Nick Ciuffo will battle it out all spring for the backup role.
Zunino’s pop will be a welcome addition to the Rays lineup as he has put together three 20+ home run seasons.
This is what I had to say about the battle and Perez’s chances:
In my opinion, Perez is in the driver’s seat this spring as he competes with Nick Ciuffo for the backup role. He was good during his abbreviated stint in Tampa Bay and likely made a nice first impression on Cash and company.
