Rays Exercise 2025 Option on Brandon Lowe

The Tampa Bay Rays have exercised their $10.5 million club option for 2025 on infielder Brandon Lowe, ensuring that he remains with the team for an eighth season. Despite injury setbacks over the past few years, Lowe has consistently been one of the league's top second basemen since his debut in 2018, exemplified by his team-leading 21 home runs and 58 RBIs in 107 games this past season. Lowe, who signed a six-year extension with club options in 2019, is also tied for the highest salary on the Rays' 2025 payroll. His career with the Rays includes a .245 batting average, 126 home runs, and 363 RBIs across 611 games, making him one of the franchise's most productive players when healthy. The decision to retain Lowe underscores the team's confidence in his abilities and their appreciation for his contributions both on and off the field.
