The Tampa Bay Rays have made a living and in fact built their entire culture around recognizing value where the rest of the league is not seeing it. So they're consistently outperforming their projections because of it, and they've made the playoffs five years in a row.
Paredes is a big piece in that offense, but two names, both with promising projections, highlight why it makes sense to consider a deal for the former Tiger. Young talents Curtis Mead and Jonathan Aranda are projected for solid hitting lines if provided the opportunity in 2024. Aranda in particular is seen as a possible a 111 wRC+ bat.
