Big news out of Tampa Bay yesterday, as the Rays continue to do what the Rays do. Matt Moore signed an extremely team friendly 5 year $14 million dollar deal with three affordable club options that could bring the total value of the contract up to 8 years and $40 million. Yes, TNSTAAPP and all, but Matt Moore looks every bit the future ace that Steve Slowinski of FanGraphs has been calling him since before his September call-up. We got a small taste of what Moore could do when he ended up starting Game 1 of the divisional round in the hitters paradise that is the Ballpark in Arlington, and shut down the mighty Rangers offense, yielding two hits and no earned runs in seven innings.
