One of the positions that the Tampa Bay Rays are focused on upgrading this offseason is the outfield.
President of baseball operations Erik Neander was not shy when discussing what the team was looking for out of the positional group. They would love to add someone who offers more power and run production after some underwhelming performances in 2025.
The Rays outfielders ranked near the bottom of baseball in home runs and RBI. Overall, the offensive production was lacking with third baseman Junior Caminero, first baseman Jonathan Aranda, second baseman Brandon Lowe and designated hitter Yandy Diaz being the only above-average rated hitters.
If Tampa Bay wants to make a push for the postseason in 2026, the offense needs to improve. Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors believes they will do exactly that, signing Trent Grisham away from their American League East rivals, the New York Yankees.
