ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The American League champion Tampa Bay Rays have signed right-hander Michael Wacha (WAH’-kuh) to a one-year, $3 million contract.
The 29-year old Wacha is 60-43 with a 4.01 ERA over eight major league seasons. After seven years with the Cardinals, he went 1-4 with a 6.62 ERA with the Mets this year.
Wacha gives the Rays pitching depth after they lost Charlie Morton, who signed a a $15 million, one-year contract with the Braves last month.
