LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — As the Rays went through the offseason without — as you may have heard — addressing their top priority of adding a left-handed impact hitter, the focus shifted to giving Josh Lowe another chance to fill that role.
Which now seems to plop a fair amount of pressure on the 25-year-old outfielder, whose two 2022 stints led to only a .221 average and .627 OPS, to step up.
“It would help a lot,” baseball operations president Erik Neander said. “Our job security would be better. So, ‘Go Josh!’”
