Nootbaar is a LHB, which the Rays have too many of right now. He only hit RHP to the tune of 108 wRC+ (2025) and 110 wRC+ (2024) the past two years and knowing the Rays, that’s all he will face as a Ray. That’s not great production. He’s coming off a down year (96 wRC+ and 0.8 fWAR), his salary is rising, he only has 2 years of control remaining (one of which could be a lockout year), he’s coming off heel surgery and might miss OD, and if he’s traded to the Rays he would play half his games on turf. Why on earth would the Rays be interested in him? Oh yeah, the Rays just drafted Gray and won’t be trading him anytime soon. Rays say no.
