He became a free agent after the Tampa Bay Rays declined his $13 million option for the 2023 season.

Last season, he played 63 games with the Rays, batting .228 with seven home runs and 22 RBI.
The 32-year-old is a three-time Gold Glove winner, capturing the defensive honour in 2015, 2016, and 2019. He was also named Platinum Glove winner in 2015.
