McClung, Wigginton agree to terms

Posted Jan 16, 2007 by Marc Lancaster

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.

Welcome to Tampa Bay!!  Both these contracts make it look like the new management of the rays have NO clue what they are doing with money.

Nice digs around here. Hey guess what? It was snowing in Cincinnati today. I bet you miss it already.
