After the two sides agreed to a two-year contract during the Winter Meetings, the Tampa Bay Rays officially announced on Monday that it is a done deal with catcher Wilson Ramos after passing his physical.
The two-year deal is for $12.5 million, with $5.75 million of incentives that could turn the overall deal to over $18 million. Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times writes that Ramos can receive a $2 million dollar raise in his 2018 salary (from $8.5 million to $10.5 million) based on starting 55 games at catcher – however, there is a caveat.
