MLB 'reclamation' candidates: 6 free agents who could bounce back with new teams

Fans love a good comeback story, and baseball arguably produces the most of any sport. Each season, there are at least a handful of players who once built strong reputations, only to fall on hard times -- through underperformance or, more often, injury -- and are forced to start fresh with a new club. Then, somehow, they manage to rediscover what made them great in the first place.

He's seen action in four big league seasons but has mustered only a .227/.278/.368 slash line in 315 turns at the plate.

That surely has led to a lot of trade interest over the years, but the Rays have valued Lowe highly enough to not bite on anything they've been offered thus far.

Ortiz has struggled with injuries, pitching only 22.2 innings from 2020-2024, but his health finally cooperated and he seems like a solid lefty relief addition for a team lacking a ton of lefty relief options - compared to the Dodgers, who seem to have nothing but lefties now.
