In the world of baseball, the Tampa Bay Rays are known for their innovative strategies and ability to build a strong bullpen. Last season, their bullpen led the American League in WHIP and ranked second in batting average against. Now, it seems they are adding another key piece to their already impressive group of relievers.
Reports have surfaced indicating that the Rays are in talks with veteran pitcher Phil Maton for a one-year deal with a club option. The deal would guarantee Maton, who turns 31 in March, a salary of $6.5 million for the 2024 season. If the club exercises the option, he would make $7.75 million in 2025, bringing the total package to $14 million.
