The Rays, along with at least three other teams, claimed Luis Robert Jr. after the Mets waived him, but he ultimately signed with the Orioles. Despite the Rays’ strong standing in the AL, they were unable to acquire him due to waiver priority. Robert’s performance with Baltimore has been disappointing, marred by injury, as the team struggles in the Wild Card race. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay, already playoff-bound, may explore center field options in free agency with both Robert and Cedric Mullins likely to be available.
