Grey had been a member of Tampa’s group since February 2018, when the Rays dealt the infielder and Daniel Hudson to the Pirates for Corey Dickerson. One thing of a flier prospect on the time, Grey labored his means up the minor league ladder to Triple-A Durham, the place he performed for nearly all the 2021-23 seasons. The exception to that prolonged Triple-A stint got here this previous September, when Grey made his MLB debut by showing in two video games for the Rays and homered and singled over 5 plate appearances.
Like many Rays merchandise, Grey can play at a number of positions, with quite a lot of expertise at each spot on the infield besides catcher. Most of Grey’s enjoying time has come at shortstop and third base, making him an fascinating candidate for a bench job in Miami. Jake Burger and Jon Berti are each right-handed hitters, so the left-handed hitting Grey might be a complement at both place or even perhaps a platoon companion with Berti relying on how the Marlins tackle the shortstop function.
