Tampa Bay Rays roster outlook: Who is manning the hot corner?

What might be an obvious choice to some Tampa Bay Rays fans isn’t as obvious to me. The three-man race for the starting third base gig, like the backup catcher job, will be an interesting one to watch. All three candidates have been acquired via trades. Both Duffy and Arroyo were originally Giants and Robertson was once a top Athletics prospect.

Third base is crowded in Tampa Bay with Yandy Diaz, Joey Wendle, Andrew Velazquez, Kean Wong all having showed the ability to play there but I believe that the bulk fo the paying time will go to Duffy, Robertson, and Arroyo.
