The Tampa Bay Rays’ lineup looks set in stone at a few spots. Their infield, should they not make any trades involving players on the roster, looks to be one of the more productive in the MLB.
Junior Caminero is already an elite run producer at third base despite being only 22 years old. Brendan Lowe is incredibly productive at second base. At first base and designated hitter, there are Yandy Diaz and Jonathan Aranda.
Shortstop has some question marks, but at the very least, the Rays know they will receive elite defense and base running from Taylor Walls when healthy. Carson Williams remains a high-upside option as the team’s top prospect.
Catcher is a position Tampa Bay is going to look to make changes to. At the very least, experienced depth needs to be added with Nick Fortes and Hunter Feduccia as the only players at the position on the roster.
Alas, finding a backstop isn’t the only area on the roster where the Rays have work to do. They have a potential logjam in the outfield with several players looking capable of handling extensive playing time. However, the team needs more impactful producers.
