The Tampa Bay Rays have brought to major league relievers into the fold this week.
The Rays signed right-handed pitcher Jason Adam to a one year deal that will pay him $900K for the season with a chance to make $250K more in incentives. Adam takes a spot on the 40-man roster; in the corresponding roster move, the Rays placed RHP Tyler Glasnow on the 60-day IL.
Adam reportedly had spoken to on-again, off-again Rays hurler Aaron Slegers about joining the organization, and was impressed by what he learned, saying it was the deciding factor in picking the Rays.
