The Rays have agreed to a minor league deal with infielder Logan Davidson<\/a>, 7News Boston\u2019s Ari Alexander<\/a> reports.\u00a0 The contract contains an invitation for Davidson to attend Tampa Bay\u2019s big league spring camp.<\/p>\n

Selected 29th overall by the Athletics in the 2019 draft, Davidson didn\u2019t make his debut in the Show until this past May at age 27, and he ended up hitting .167\/.222\/.286 over 47 plate appearances with the A\u2019s and Angels.\u00a0 The A\u2019s designated the infielder for assignment in July and he was claimed off waivers by the Astros, only to be DFA\u2019ed again and claimed off waivers by Los Angeles in September.\u00a0 The Angels then outrighted Davidson off their 40-man roster at the end of October, and he entered into minor league free agency.<\/p>\n

Tampa is always on the lookout for multi-positional players, and Davidson fits the bill with a lot of experience at all four infield positions, plus at least some work in all three outfield slots.\u00a0 Shortstop has been Davidson\u2019s most frequent position over his minor league career, though he has mostly been utilized as a corner infielder in recent years.<\/p>\n

Between this defensive versatility and his switch-hitting bat, Davidson brings some pluses to the table as he\u2019ll look to compete for a bench job in Spring Training.\u00a0 Davidson has a respectable .271\/.367\/.441 slash line and 27 home runs over 1002 plate appearances at the Triple-A level, with the caveat that his Triple-A career has been spent entirely in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rays have agreed to a minor league deal with infielder Logan Davidson, 7News Boston\u2019s Ari Alexander reports.\u00a0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,147057,462,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-334405","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-logan-davidson","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
