The Tampa Bay Rays have made some intriguing moves this offseason, acquiring players like Danny Jansen, Eloy Jimenez, and adding the recovering Ha-Seong Kim to their roster. With the Rays' history of maximizing player potential, could we see a resurgence from Jansen and Jimenez?
Jansen's past struggles raise questions about whether he can bounce back at 30, especially given the wear and tear catchers often face. Meanwhile, Jimenez, despite his injury history, has shown flashes of power in his prime years. Do you think the Rays can unlock his potential, or is he destined to be another what could have been story?
And then there's Ha-Seong Kim. His recovery timeline is optimistic, but can he truly be the answer at shortstop after the struggles of 2024? With a projected on-base percentage around .330, could he be the spark the Rays need to improve their offensive output from the shortstop position?
Let’s not forget about the pitching side of things. Alex Faedo and Mike Vasil are both looking to carve out roles in the bullpen, but can they be reliable options for a team that often thrives on pitching depth?
What are your bold predictions for the Rays this season? Will they rise to the top of the AL East, or are they setting themselves up for another year of mediocrity? Share your thoughts and let's discuss!
