The Tampa Bay Rays have avoided arbitration with all of five of their remaining players that were eligible: right-handed pitcher Oliver Drake, right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow, right-handed pitcher Chaz Roe, outfielder Hunter Renfroe and infielder Daniel Robertson.
Drake flourished with the Rays this past season as he struck out 32% of opposing hitters and finished the season with a 3.21 ERA / 3.87 FIP. He was projected to make $1.1M during his first foray into arbitration. The Rays and Drake agreed to a one year, $1.025M deal.
Glasnow was incredible — when healthy — for the Rays in 2019 and looked well on his way to a Cy Young season until going down with an injury just a month into the season.
