The Tampa Bay Rays have agreed to a one-year deal with veteran reliever Kyle Farnsworth, multiple media outlets have reported. Farnsworth put up strong numbers in the first half of 2010 while pitching for the Royals, but after a midseason trade sent him to Atlanta, the right-hander struggled to a 5.40 ERA with the Braves. Overall, Farnsworth finished the year with a 3.34 ERA in 64 innings, his highest total since 2006. That number could have enticed the Rays, who have been looking for some stability in their bullpen after losing several reliable relievers to free agency. The deal is reportedly for $3.25 million with an option for 2012 as well.
