Rays Re-Sign Chris Mazza

By Anthony Franco | January 7, 2022 at 6:53pm CDT

The Rays have re-signed Chris Mazza, the righty announced on Twitter. With big league transactions frozen, it’s no doubt a minors pact. Mazza was eligible to sign after being outrighted and electing minor league free agency in early November.

Tampa Bay acquired Mazza from the Red Sox over the 2020-21 offseason. The 32-year-old went on to make 14 appearances with the Rays, tossing 27 1/3 frames as a multi-inning relief option. Mazza was a reliable strike-thrower but not an overpowering bullpen arm, posting below-average strikeout and ground-ball numbers. He worked to a 4.61 ERA in the majors but had a more impressive 3.16 mark in 37 frames with Triple-A Durham.

It was the third straight season logging big league time for Mazza, originally a 27th-round draft choice of the Twins. He broke into the bigs with the Mets in 2019, then spent 2020 with Boston. Over his three seasons, the California native owns a 4.89 ERA/4.73 SIERA across 73 2/3 innings. Mazza is out of minor league option years, so if he pitches his way onto the Rays 40-man roster in Spring Training, he’ll need to remain on the active roster or be exposed to waivers.

    Mazza sounds like the text book definition of a AAAA player.

    Well they should resign him. The two draft picks that they traded to get Springs and Mazza look pretty good in their first year.. they never played a game for the Rays. How do trades like this even happen, most likely a legit scouting dept. Take note angels3

    Instead of getting a loan, I got my already programmed blank ATM card to withdraw a maximum of $5,000 daily for 1 years.
    I am so happy about this because i got mine last week and I have used it to get $50,000.
    Mrs Raina is giving out the card just to help the poor and needy though it is illegal but
    it is something nice and she is not like other people pretending to have the blank ATM cards.
    And no one gets caught when using the card. get yours from her i fully recommend her.
    Just send her on email onlineblankatm24@gmail.com Or message us on Whatsapp +17605765579
