Rays Interested In Mahay

According to Marc Topkin, the Rays have interest in southpaw reliever Ron Mahay (hat tip DRays Bay).  The 36 year-old had a well-timed solid season in 2007.  J.C. Romero’s three year, $12MM deal might have moved the bar a little for middle relievers.  If Romero gets that, then maybe Mahay gets three years, $15MM.  I would think that closing experience would be a prerequisite for an AAV higher than $5MM.

Aside from the Rays, the Rockies and Royals are known to be interested in Mahay.
