Manuel Margot receives well-earned contract extension, can stay with Rays through 2025

During the Rays 2020 postseason run in which their season was capped off by a six-game World Series loss, Manuel Margot was regularly at the center of the action.

During the ALCS, Margot made an awe inspiring catch as he dashed towards foul territory holding his glove out over his eyes to shade them from the sun, then stuck his glove out in full extension, leaped and crashed over the at least 5 foot wall and took an even further fall to the cement ground below.

This catch is forever etched in the minds of Rays fans; however, Margot is much more than a defensive extraordinaire.
