Earlier, I suggested that if the Rays were looking for a place to improve on the roster, it could make sense for the team to deal from a position of depth in MVP candidate Brandon Lowe. This was that article’s conclusion:
Picking out Lowe as an option to ship out also makes sense given his position. Of the Rays top four prospects, per MLB.com, three play up the middle, with Vidal Brujan and Xavier Edwards listed first as second baseman. While Wander Franco may be targeted for third, and Brujan may be in the process of converting to centerfield, the fact remains: second base is a position of depth for the Rays, and a position they could look to cash in on.
