The Tampa Bay Rays may have had their second stroke of luck on the open market in their catcher search this off-season. After previously signing the top catching free agent Wilson Ramos to a two-year deal, the Rays have come to terms with Derek Norris on a one-year contract. The deal does not include any options for 2018 or beyond, but the 28-year old Derek Norris remains arbitration eligible through the 2018 season, as he has not yet fulfilled his rookie contract obligations. Terms of his 2017 contract have not been released yet.
