NS. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – The Tampa Bay Rays signed a $ 10 million two-year deal Tuesday with a club option for 2024.
Raley went 2-3 with a 4.78 ERA in 58 games with Houston that season. The 33-year-old hit 65 and went 16 in 49 innings.
“I just feel like there is more in the tank and I want to grow as a player and as a person and I thought Tampa was a perfect fit,” said Raley. “I had the feeling that we found common ground and made everything work.”
In four major league seasons, Raley is 3-6 with 5.62 ERA in 93 games and has 122 strikeouts over 107 1/3 innings. The left-handed player played 14 games for the Chicago Cubs in 2012-13 and spent 2015-19 in South Korea before returning to the Majors in 2020.
Tampa Bay is also working on closing a free agent deal with right-handed Corey Kluber.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner with Cleveland was hampered by a shoulder injury and went with the New York Yankees in 16 games with a 3.83 ERA 5-3 last season. He was limited to 36 2/3 innings by injury in 2019-20.
