Considering how well-traveled Steve Pearce was before he finally established himself with the Orioles, it still seems strange to see him in another uniform.
The Orioles will still see plenty of Pearce, whose one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Rays became official on Thursday evening. The Rays Twitter account announced the deal.
Pearce’s salary still hasn’t been disclosed, which is interesting.
I’m still surprised that the Orioles never really made a play for Pearce. Even if Pearce was initially looking for a two-year deal, there wasn’t much of a market for him until recently.
