Last week I wrote about Neil Walker being a good free agent target to improve the 2018 Tampa Bay Rays. I still believe that signing Walker would have been a positive addition to the Rays especially at a price that is more affordable than one would expect.
After Walker ended up signing with the New York Yankees, our managing editor Danny Russell wrote that the Rays failure to sign Neil Walker was embarrassing. I strongly disagree with this sentiment.
Would signing Walker make the 2018 Rays better? Yes.
Would Walker signing with the Rays be his best option?
