Washington Nationals vs. Tampa Bay Rays - News - March 13, 2025 | FOX Sports

Yandy Díaz - Club option for 2026 exercised The Rays exercised Diaz's $12 million option for 2026 and added a vesting option for 2027 on Friday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Impact Diaz's option for 2027 would vest if he reaches certain performance thresholds in 2026. The 33-year-old performance in 2024 fell of a bit compared to his 2023 and 2022 seasons, but he still slashed .281/.341/.414 with 14 home runs in 2024 and boasts a career .373 on-base percentage. Diaz is slated to serve as the Rays' primary first baseman again in 2025, although he should also see ample starts at designated hitter.
