1. Walt Davis Posted: December 30, 2020 at 05:04 PM (#5996697)The Rays use that talent to keep trading those relief pitchers right at the point where they'd start to make money, knowing they can likely replace that pitcher with another one just like him next year. They don't have any money, so they use this special skill to just keep staying cheap.
Actually, he's a 1B, not a MI.
I think the main draw here is that he's a non-roster player, and the Rays needed to open a roster spot after the Snell trade.
