The Rays announced that they have signed free agent reliever Kyle Farnsworth
to a one-year, Major League contract. Farnsworth will earn a base salary of
$1.25MM with the chance to double his earnings through incentives.
Farnsworth posted a 4.00 ERA with 8.3 K/9, 4.7 BB/9 and a 55.1% ground ball
rate in 27 innings for the Rays in 2012. The 36-year-old earned $3.3MM in
2012, up from $2.6MM in 2011. He was linked to the Brewers this offseason and
had multiple offers as recently as last week. He ultimately narrowed his
choices to the Rays and another unknown club. Meister Sports Management
represents Farnsworth.
