With free agency a mess, contract extensions are all the rage. The Rays have now handed out two contract extensions of their own to young players as they look to secure the core of a 90-win team for the foreseeable future.
It may be wise for all sides involved (players, ownership, and fans who want to see players in Rays jerseys for the long haul) to continue the trend (which it sounds like it might!).
#Rays Neander on if there could be more extension coming: "when there are opportunities that increases the chance they can be here for a long period of time - that's something that we will continue to explore whenever those opportunities present themselves.
