Inbox: What is Rivera's role with Rays in 2016?

There's a chance Tampa Bay could keep three catchers, given the offense of Conger and Casali. There's also a chance the club could trade one of its catchers if another team sustains an injury or two during Spring Training. So for now, I'd say Rivera is definitely in the Rays' plans for 2016.

After seeing the Rays offer team-friendly deals to players in the past such as Chris Archer and Matt Moore, do you think it's possible for the club to try to lock down another young player like Kevin Kiermaier, or possibly take a risk and give Alex Cobb an incentive-based contract to protect from possible injuries or problems returning after his Tommy John surgery?
