The Tampa Bay Rays and prospect Brandon Lowe have agreed on a six-year, $24 million deal, according to a report by The Athletic.
The deal includes two club options.
Lowe, 24, is No. 93 on Baseball America’s list of Top 100 prospects. A third-round draft pick in 2015, Lowe has just 148 plate appearances in the major leagues but is valued for his versatility.
In 43 games with the Rays in 2018, he played both infield and outfield positions. He hit .233 with six home runs and 25 RBIs.
This spring, he’s batting .359 with two home runs, seven doubles and 14 RBIs for the Rays.
