Rays signed RHP Joe Record to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Tampa Bay will give Record a spin in Grapefruit League action next spring to determine whether they’ve got another hit on their hands in the relief pitcher department. The 28-year-old righty spent the last three seasons in the Astros’ minor league system, finishing the 2023 campaign with a strong 3.71 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 52/29 K/BB ratio across 53 1/3 innings (50 appearances) for Triple-A Sugar Land.
