The Tampa Bay Rays are going to be on the lookout for some help at several positions in their lineup this winter. President of baseball operations Erik Neander has not been shy about discussing what the team plans to do this offseason.
Catcher has been mentioned multiple times as a position of need. Since their inception, finding a backstop has proven challenging for the Rays.
The team is also going to evaluate things at shortstop. Taylor Walls is a Gold Glove finalist, but leaves a lot to be desired with the bat. Carson Williams is a star prospect but may not be ready for the Major Leagues.
Last but not least, the team is going to have to sort through the outfield. There is a logjam brewing with Chandler Simpson, Jake Mangum, Josh Lowe, Christopher Morel and Jonny DeLuca.
