Rays Sign Charlie Culberson To Minor-League Deal
2 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays signed free-agent veteran infielder/outfielder Charlie Culberson to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invite to major-league spring training, according to sources. The 33-year-old has played parts of 10 seasons in the majors, most recently with the Texas Rangers and Atlanta Braves. In 68 games with Texas last year, he hit .252/.283/.357 with a .640 OPS, two home runs, 12 RBI, 19 runs scored and two stolen bases in 124 plate appearances. Culberson can pretty much play anywhere, giving Tampa the positional versatility that they like, but he'll simply serve as utility depth for the Rays in 2023 and is unlikely to make any kind of impact in fantasy in mixed leagues. He has a career slash line of .248/.293/.386 with a .679 OPS, 30 home runs, 145 RBI and 21 steals in 585 career big-league games.
