The Rays are set to re-sign Luke Scott, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times
reports (on Twitter). Topkin reported yesterday that there was mutual
interest between the Rays and Scott, a PSI Sports Management client.
Scott made two trips to the disabled list as a result of oblique and back
injuries in 2012. When healthy he hit 14 home runs and posted a
.229/.285/.439 batting line in 344 plate appearances. However, there was
limited buzz surrounding the 34-year-old this offseason.
Rays executive VP of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has added many free
agents this offseason. Joel Peralta obtained a two-year deal, and Roberto
Hernandez, Kyle Farnsworth and James Loney signed one-year deals. The Rays
also added notable players such as Jamey Wright and Juan Carlos Oviedo on
minor league deals.
The market for designated hitters still includes Travis Hafner, Carlos Lee,
Jim Thome, Juan Rivera and Bobby Abreu, as MLBTR's Free Agent Tracker shows.
The Indians, Yankees and Astros are among the teams that could pursue help at
DH.
