In a move sure to send ripples through the American League East, the Tampa Bay Rays will sign pitcher Dana Eveland to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training, according to Chris Cotillo.
Eveland pitched 3.1 innings last season of 5.40 ERA baseball, backed up by a 7.33 FIP across ten game. He was released by three Triple-A teams in 2014.
And despite all that, this is actually a signing that may matter for the major league Rays.
The Left-handed One Out GuY ("LOOGY") might be the most specialized role in baseball.
