I recently wrote an article in which I discussed longtime Yankees reliever David Robertson as a perfect fit in Tampa Bay. The next day he would sign a 2/23M contract with the Phillies. I don’t know if the Rays ever even reached out to Robertson, but at that price the Phillies got a great pitcher at an even better price. With the aforementioned depth in the pen, the Tampa Bay Rays may not want to spend that much money on relievers, so instead I am turning my attention to Shawn Kelley.
Like Robertson, Kelley is approaching his mid 30’s and has appeared in his fair share of games throughout his 10 year career.
