Tampa Bay Rays Sign Brett Wisely to One-Year Contract
Rays Bolster Infield with Versatile Veteran
Tampa, FL - The Tampa Bay Rays have signed infielder Brett Wisely to a one-year, $125,000 contract, the team announced today.
Wisely, 31, is a versatile infielder who can play all four infield positions. He has a career batting average of .257 with 45 home runs and 230 RBIs in 786 games played. He has spent the majority of his career with the San Francisco Giants, but has also played for the Oakland Athletics and Arizona Diamondbacks.
Wisely is expected to provide the Rays with a solid option at multiple infield positions. He is a good fielder and has the ability to hit for power and speed. He is also a veteran presence who can help mentor the Rays' young players.
The Rays are hoping that Wisely can help them improve their offense and defense in 2023. They are coming off a disappointing season in which they finished with a 68-94 record and missed the playoffs.
Wisely is excited to be joining the Rays. He is looking forward to helping the team improve and reach the playoffs.
"I'm really excited to be a part of the Rays," Wisely said. "I think we have a great team and I'm looking forward to helping us win a championship."
