The Rays continue to piece together a mostly new bullpen, reportedly agreeing to terms on a deal with free agent Kyle Farnsworth.The good news is that Big Country gets to stay in the Major Leagues for at least another season, and I get another year of barely baseball-related tangential storytelling. The bad news is that if the Rays wanted help in the bullpen, they signed Kyle Farnsworth for 2011.
Trust me, the original version of this was about four times longer and involved a conversation where we find out Jacksonville doesn't have a baseball team because it "smells like Sable's vagina." It does, but I didn't think you needed to know that.
Today's Dugout follows. Three cheers for Tampa!
