The Rays have re-signed pitcher Joel Peralta to a two year deal worth $6 million that will keep the right hander in Tampa Bay through the 2014 season. The contract includes an option worth $2.5 million for the 2015 season.
Peralta appeared in 76 games for the Rays in 2012, posting a 3.63 ERA with 11.3 K/9 in 67 innings.
Analysis: Peralta had a very nice 2012 season so keeping him around makes sense. I honestly thought that team's like the Mets and Brewers were going to go hard after him, but Tampa Bay really didn't let him hit the open market. $6 million isn't that bad, assuming that Peralta continues his fine performance.
