ST. PETERSBURG (SNN-TV) – Tampa Bay added an arm via free agency Thursday night, one with experience as a starter and out of the bullpen.
The Rays are in agreement with right-hander Zach Eflin on a three-year, $40M contract. The deal is the largest ever inked by a Rays free agent signee.
Eflin had spent his entire big league career with the Phillies. Originally drafted by the Padres, the Orlando native was dealt to the Dodgers and Phils during his time as a minor leaguer. This season Eflin made seven appearances out of the bullpen during the regular season, then tossed 10 2/3 frames over 10 outings as a high-leverage arm during the Phils run to a National League pennant.
