The Tampa Bay Rays have shown the world that they are in the competing mood and ready to sign some free-agents, this time inking left-fielder Pat Burrell of the World Series Champion Phillies to a 2-year deal worth $16M. Burrell will be the team's primary DH, and gives Tampa a lefty-masher to inject into the middle of an order that was haunted by left-handers last year.
Tampa is definitely making good deal after another, now solidifying their two holes in their lineup by both landing a young full-time right fielder in Matt Joyce as well as bringing in a 32-year old Burrell who still provides 30+ HR pop.
