Rays Free Agent Target: Steven Souza Jr.

The Tampa Bay Rays are looking for a right handed bat to bring some balance to the force lineup.

Currently there would be five left handed bats in the lineup most days via Austin Meadows, Brandon Lowe, Ji-Man Choi, Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, and Kevin Kiermaier, and with Joey Wendle and Michael Perez picking up playing time in a part time role.

This wouldn’t be all that different from how they entered last season with the addition of Tsutsugo. Perez ended up losing playing time after the injury and acquisition of Travis d’Arnaud and Lowe missing most of the second half of the season.
