Signs contract extension The Rays signed Waguespack (shoulder) to a contract extension Monday.
Impact The terms of the new deal are not known at this time. Waguespack, 31, missed much of the 2024 season with a shoulder injury, but during his time at Triple-A Durham he had a 32:5 K:BB over 22 innings. The right-hander finished the season healthy and should compete for an Opening Day roster spot, perhaps in a swingman role.
