2 months agoTampa Bay Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander has identified catcher as a position of need for the team this offseason as they look to improve defensively. "The catching position, the production we got last year was nowhere near where it needed to be to be a playoff-contributing position," Neander said. "We need to find a way to score more runs. I think there's a few different ways we can go about doing that. But upgrading the catcher situation, without question." Tampa's backstops had just a 67 wRC+ last year, which was third-worst in baseball behind the Miami Marlins and Chicago White Sox. Ben Rortvedt played solid defense for the Rays, but he also hit .228/.317/.303 with just three home runs. With Rotvedt hitting from the left side, expect Tampa to look for a right-handed complement with better offensive skills at catcher.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
