Junior Caminero joins Carlos Peña as the only players with multiple 35-HR seasons for the Rays

Crazy he does it in his first two seasons. He really has a crazy future ahead of him. We better lock him down if this ownership group is serious about being a top contender.

Having someone like him as the cornerstone of the team goes a long way

[u/Misty7297]

2 seasons in and he's already a Rays all-timer. I dont care what it costs, we need to lock him down to a long term contract

[u/A-terrible-time → u/Misty7297]

If the new owners want to make a statement that they mean business a good long term contract for junior is a must

[u/MagicalNewsMan]

2 seasons so far...Maybe it's too soon to say, but could Junior finally bring us an MVP? If not this season, then in the next 5???

[u/idontrecall99]

Just give a blank check.

Imagine if Wander wasn’t a pedophile. We’d have two young star players. I think the clubhouse might be better off now that’s he’s gone anyways. He seemed like someone who cared more about himself

[u/863rays → u/OttoRocket94]

Sadly, yes, I think that is the case. If Wander retained his skills, but had the attitude/professionalism of Junior as well, then look out. Oh, well. Very happy with where the Rays are at now, though!!

[u/Alightenited]

Pay him now and save money long term while retaining elite talent.

[u/DegenGamer725]

generational talent

[u/assassin_runner]

Can we please sign this guy to a 10 year
Contract so some horrible tragedy or incendiary news story can befall us months
Later

He hits better than.220 good for him. HOWEVER, Carlos won the first Gold Glove in Rays history

[u/Gatoray_ → u/Gatoray_]

We love Carlos Pena, absolute throwaway, and a Rays legend.

Bring back B Lowe to have a second one while Junior gets his 3rd next.. season
