According to a report from Marc Topkin, the Tampa Bay Rays are deep into talks with veteran right-handed pitcher Michael Wacha.
Wacha, 29, is a veteran of eight Major League seasons, having spent most of his career with the St Louis Cardinals. He was originally drafted in the first round (19th overall) of the 2012 draft by St Louis and surged through their system to make his big league debut the following year in 2013.
During his time with St Louis, Wacha was usually a dependable starter in the middle of their rotation.
