The Tampa Bay Rays had 10 players file for arbitration this offseason: Alex Cobb, Hank Conger, Logan Forsythe, Brandon Guyer, Desmond Jennings, Jake McGee, Logan Morrison, Erasmo Ramirez, Rene Rivera, and Drew Smyly. One of those players is reportedly close to signing a two year contract extension with the Rays, while the others may or may not avoid arbitration.
