Former Houston Astros outfielder Colby Rasmus who reached a one year agreement with the Tampa Bay Rays has signed his one year, $5 million dollar contract on Monday. Rasmus became a free agent at the end of the 2016 Major League Baseball season after he played 107 games as an outfielder for the American League West Division team due to an injury to his left hip that required surgery on October 18, 2016. The Rays needed his services since he is a left handed hitter and he is needed to play in the outfield for the Rays in 2017 on a one year contract.
