Right-hander Michael Wacha and the Tampa Bay Rays are in agreement on a one-year, $3 million contract, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Wacha spent the 2020 season with the New York Mets, going 1-4 with a 6.62 ERA in eight appearances (seven starts).
The 29-year-old Wacha shined as a rookie for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2013, winning National League Championship Series MVP, but has been frequently injured since, including missing time last season with shoulder inflammation.
Wacha spent his first seven major league seasons with the Cardinals and was an All-Star in 2015.
