Rays' Randy Arozarena: Could steal more aggressively
The Rays are focused on being more aggressive on the basepaths, which could help Arozarena's stolen base total in 2024, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
While many players around the league saw their stolen base opportunities increase in 2023 due to the new rules, Arozarena saw his total attempts drop from 44 to 32. His efficiency also worsened, as he was caught stealing 10 times. However, manager Kevin Cash has prioritized the running game this spring, and he also noted that he didn't believe the typical 80 percent benchmark to maintain a green light was a realistic barometer in the modern game. As a result, Arozarena may see his stolen-base total tick back up toward his career-high mark of 32 from 2022.

Rays' Randy Arozarena: Avoids arbitration with Rays
The Rays and Arozarena avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $8.1 million contract Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Arozarena will nearly double his 2023 salary in what was his second year of arbitration eligibility. The outfielder has recorded three straight 20-20 seasons for Tampa Bay, although his 120 OPS+ in 2023 was a career low.
