Does Yandy Diaz Have Competition at First Base? | Locked On Rays

As Spring Training gets closer each day, Locked On Rays will be highlighting possible competitions for roles by position. Today, let’s start with first base. Yandy Diaz is the mainstay. However, if there is a Harold Ramirez trade, which opens up the DH role for Yandy to stay healthy, who could be earning playing time by taking those ABs? Against RHP, could Jonathan Aranda finally get consistent playing time to translate those impressive minor league offensive numbers to MLB? What would be the percentage played at that position? Would we see Isaac Paredes moving from third to first and opening third for another candidate? Can Curtis Mead or Austin Shenton be dark horses for playing time?Let us know your thoughts down in the comments!
