Slater Seeks Playoff Shot | MLB News

Austin Slater is opting out of his minor league deal with Tampa Bay, aiming to land a spot on a playoff-contending team before the September 1 deadline. While his MLB numbers have been rough—.231 batting average, .311 OBP over 65 PA across three teams—Slater’s Triple-A form has been elite: .305/.407/.453 in 150 PA. He’s shown discipline at the plate, walking often and striking out rarely, and brings valuable versatility. A roster expansion on Sept. 1 could give him a shot as bench depth, even if a big-league contract seems unlikely.
