Tampa Bay Rays have signed veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to a major league deal and outfielder Austin Slater to a minor league contract. Slater, recently DFA’d by the Mets after a brief stint, struggled this season with a .175 average against lefties. Kimbrel, also DFA’d by the Mets, made his Rays debut, throwing a scoreless inning against the Orioles. This marks a new chapter for both players, with Slater providing minor league depth and Kimbrel joining his 11th team.
