Rays, Marlins, Braves and Rangers among teams interested in Ryan Raburn
Ryan Raburn was released by the Tigers earlier this month after batting just
.171/.226/.254 with one home run and a .480 OPS in 222 plate appearances this
past season, but he’s apparently a pretty popular target in free agency.
ESPN’s Jayson Stark hears that six teams are in the mix for Raburn. The
Rays, Marlins, Braves and Rangers appear to have the most interest at the
moment.
While Raburn struggled miserably this past season, he averaged 15 homers per
season from 2009-2011 and has extensive experience between second base and
the corner outfield spots. The 31-year-old could be a useful bench player and
right-handed bat.
