Tampa Bay Rays: Latest Spring Training News and Notes

It will be down to the wire with roster decisions as the Tampa Bay Rays head into the last week of training camp and from the way things are shaping up, there could be some surprises along the way.

On Saturday, the Rays announced the signing of catcher Derek Norris to a one-year deal. Norris has been penciled in as the starting catcher and as of this writing the backup is yet to be determined. However, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that the Rays are leaning towards Jesus Sucre as the backup and sending Curt Casali or Luke Maile to Triple-A Durham, with the odd-man out possibly involved in a trade.
