Rays, Dana Eveland Agree To Minor League Deal

By Steve Adams | November 2, 2016 at 3:15pm CDT

The Rays and left-hander Dana Eveland agreed to a new minor league contract, as was first noted on the MiLB Roster Tracker Twitter account. (MLBTR has confirmed the move.) The 33-year-old was outrighted off the 40-man roster following the season but told MLB.com’s Bill Chastain shortly thereafter that he was likely to return to Tampa Bay on a new minor league pact.

Eveland totaled 23 innings out of the Tampa Bay ’pen this season but was tagged for 23 runs on 32 hits and 19 walks in that time. He did manage 21 punchouts and a solid 47.4 percent ground-ball rate in that brief Major League stint as well. Furthermore, his minor league work was considerably more encouraging, as the veteran southpaw registered a pristine 0.30 ERA with 21 strikeouts against six walks in 29 2/3 innings of work. Eveland’s return will give the Rays a depth piece that has experience in parts of 11 MLB seasons dating back to 2005. In 446 1/3 innings in the Majors, Eveland has a 5.46 ERA with 308 strikeouts against 221 walks.

      Ha. They did select his contract and quickly remove him from the roster on three different occasions in 2016, with Eveland electing to remain in the org each time. Now we get the chance for more of the same next year!

    So we are going to pick up Eveland. Yep,were resigning a guy with an era over 9.00, who’s main pitch is an 88 mph fastball that is up and in,and is 33. Don’t expect the Rays to bring him up.
