The Tampa Bay Rays sign Joaquin Benoit
The Rays have signed 32-year old righty reliever Joaquin Benoit to a minor league deal. Benoit missed all of last season due to rotator cuff surgery. He has now pitched in 273 games (55 starts) in his major league career and he is 30-26 with 8 saves, a 4.79 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. This was a nice low risk move for the Rays as Benoit has a big time arm.
