With the catcher market starting to take shape, the Rays decided to work on a
new deal with catcher Mike Zunino that will keep him in Tampa Bay through the
2020 season.
After a disappointing season at the plate in 2019, Zunino became a possible
candidate to be non-tendered before the Dec. 2 deadline, but instead the Rays
showed confidence in the veteran catcher, and they finalized a one-year deal
for $4.5 million on Monday.
The deal includes a 2021 club option worth another $4.5 million, with the
potential to grow to $5.25 million with incentives. That gives the Rays the
ability to bank on Zunino having a bounce-back season at the plate, while
also maintaining control for one more year if the 28-year-old shows
consistent improvement with his bat.
Zunino hit just nine home runs in 90 games with the Rays, and his batting
average dipped to .165. The .544 OPS was the second lowest of his career,
behind the .530 clip in 2015 as a member of the Mariners.
