Offseason action picked up this past week as play in the Dominican Republic began. Jesus Sanchez and Vidal Brujan are among the Rays participating.
Hitters
2B Jonathan Aranda, Liga Mexicana del Pacífico
This week: 2 AB, 2 K
Offseason: 2 AB, .000 BA/.000 OBP/.000 SLG

OF Ryan Boldt, Arizona Fall League
This week: 7 AB, 2 R, 3 H, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K, 0/1 SB
Offseason: 15 AB, .333 BA/.412 OBP/.333 SLG

2B Vidal Brujan, Liga de Béisbol Profesional de la República Dominicana
This week: 9 AB, 1 R, 1 H, 1 RBI, 2 K
Offseason: 9 AB, .111 BA/.111 OBP/.111 SLG
Brujan only played in one game in his winter debut, but he certainly had his fair share of action in the 19-inning contest.

Offseason: 34 AB, .412 BA/.512 OBP/.500 SLG

OF Moises Gomez, Venezolana de Béisbol Profesional
This week: 2 AB, 2 K
Offseason: 2 AB, .000 BA/.000 OBP/.000 SLG
Gomez was named the No. 13 prospect in the Midwest League after a breakout season, and he’ll look to retain that momentum in Venezuela this winter.
OF Joe McCarthy, AFL
This week: 10 AB, 2 H, 2 2B, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 2 K
Offseason: 17 AB, .294 BA/.478 OBP/.412 SLG

This week: 17 AB, 2 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 5 K
Offseason: 21 AB, .095 BA/.136 OBP/.095 SLG

C David Rodriguez, LVBP
This week: 9 AB, 2 R, 2 H, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 4 K, 0/1 SB
Offseason: 14 AB, .429 BA/.357 OBP/.333 SLG
Rodriguez caught one game and played as the designated hitter in another.
OF Jesus Sanchez, LIDOM
This week: 12 AB, 2 R, 3 H, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 5 K, 0/1 SB
Offseason: 12 AB, .250 BA/.357 OBP/.333 SLG
Sanchez was the No. 2 overall pick in the LIDOM draft in 2017. Most of his at-bats came in the lengthy game alongside Brujan.
