Beating the deadline for teams and arbitration-eligible players to exchange salary figures, the Rays have agreed to terms with right-hander Seth McClung and infielder Ty Wigginton on one-year deals.
McClung will make $750,000 plus incentives in 2007 and Wigginton will make $2.7 million plus incentives. The Rays were unable to reach agreement with their other remaining arbitration-eligible player, catcher Josh Paul. Under a new organizational policy, they apparently won’t continue negotiations with Paul’s agent, choosing instead to take their chances in an arbitration hearing. Paul made $475,000 last year as he hit .260 with eight RBI in 58 games.
