With the winter meetings getting underway, the Tampa Bay Rays have a couple of needs that they would like to address.
Coming into the offseason, the Rays were certainly a team to watch for a number of reasons. With a desire to improve, Tampa Bay figured to be involved in the pursuit of some players to help make some upgrades for the team.
So far, they have started that process with the signing of a couple of outfielders to hopefully help their offensive production. The outfield for the Rays in 2025 didn’t provide nearly enough for the lineup, and the franchise is shaking things up. The additions of Cedric Mullins and Jake Fraley should hopefully help increase production in the slugging department.
While it is good that they started to address that area of need, there are still several more for the club to take a look at during the winter meetings. Adam Berry of MLB recently wrote about the Rays having a need to fill in their starting rotation and highlighted that a veteran who could eat innings would be ideal for the club.
