I had heard he was going to sign and actually looked at the MLB.com transactions about 1 p.m. today. Oh, well.
I understand he has an opt-out clause in the contract and can ask for his release at the end of spring training.
And, Bubba, do you not like Jorge Cantu? He did wear the butter and blue, albeit for a rehab stay. =)
He never impressed me.
Rays signed Johnny Raburn.
