Overview
- Fraley agreed to a one-year Major League contract reported at $3 million with up to $400,000 in roster-day bonuses.
- The Rays cut ties last week rather than proceed through arbitration, then quickly reunited with the outfielder on reduced terms.
- He is a left-handed hitter with pronounced success versus right-handed pitching and profiles for corner-outfield and DH matchups.
- Injuries limited him to 76 games in 2025, contributing to role and availability questions entering spring.
- The 2016 Rays draftee returns to a crowded outfield mix after stints with Seattle, Cincinnati and Atlanta, including recent waiver claims.
