Tampa Bay Rays resign Brendan McKay to minor league deal

The Tampa Bay Rays have made three minor league signings.

Marc Topkin reports that the team has resigned former top prospect, left-handed pitcher Brendan McKay to a two year minor league deal. The team also signed catcher Nick Dini and right-handed pitcher Colten Brewer.

McKay was released by the Rays in November to clear space on the 40-man roster. He underwent Tommy John surgery in September, which will cause him to miss the entire 2023 season.

Drafted by the Rays with the 4th overall selection in the 2017 draft, McKay was coming off one of the most decorated collegiate careers a player can have, winning the highly coveted Golden Spikes award, which is given to the top amateur player in the country.
