The Tampa Bay Rays sign Jorge Julio
The Rays have signed 30-year old righty reliever Jorge Julio to a minor league deal. Julio pitched in 15 games (0 starts) for the Brewers earlier this season and he was 1-1 with a 7.79 ERA and a 1.73 WHIP. But, Julio was all over the place walking 15 batters in only 17 1/3 innings for the Brew Crew. If Julio can get back to throwing strikes he could help the Rays’ bullpen later this season because he still has good stuff. Julio has now pitched in 453 games (0 starts) in his major league career and he is 17-34 with 99 saves, a 4.43 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP.
