The Rays locked up pitcher Wade Davis through 2014, with three option years.
The contract, which contains three club option years (2015-17), guarantees Davis $12.6 million. If the Rays exercise the three option years, the 25-year-old Davis will make approximately $35.1 million.
If all the options are exercised, the Rays would have bought out Davis’s first two years of free agency. He’s playing this year as a 25-year-old, so Tampa Bay locked up his prime, and get to release him to free agency if he declines. Another great deal for the club.
