Another quiet day for the Tampa Bay Rays as the offseason drags on. They did however, make a move according to a tweet from Brandon Warne, the team has signed LHP Jairo Labourt to a minor league deal.

Labourt, 24, was a former prospect with the Toronto Blue Jays, and was part of the return to the Detroit Tigers in the David Price trade in 2015. Labourt also pitched in the Futures’ Game in 2017 and made his major league debut that September. Labourt seems to have been injured for most of the 2018 season as he only logged 5 23 innings pitched in the rookie league within the White Sox organization.
