Rays acquired RHP Rafael Soriano from the Braves for RHP Jesse Chavez.
The Rays have agreed to sign the right-hander to a one-year deal worth around $7 million, which happens to be below market value for top-line closers. And that's exactly what Soriano is. He posted a 2.97 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP and a lights-out 102/27 K/BB ratio in 75 2/3 innings this past season and will immediately assume ninth-inning duties in Tampa.
