Fantasy Analysis
Aybar was non-tendered by the Rays last December and did not receive much interest from many ball clubs. He showed some decent pop in limited playing time earlier in his career but poses zero Fantasy value at this point. Continue to ignore him in all Fantasy formats while he is out of the majors.
