Coats was released by the Rays on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays claimed Coats off waivers earlier in the month, but they've since brought in Mallex Smith and Colby Rasmus, making Coats even more expendable. The 26-year-old, who split last season between the White Sox and Triple-A Charlotte, will look to catch on with another organization and figures to land back at the Triple-A level.
