Troy Percival Agrees To Deal With Rays

According to ESPN's Buster Olney, Troy Percival will be coming on board the Rays on a 2-year deal. The move is pending a physical and should be made official sometime today.

Earlier yesterday, Ken Rosenthal sounded some caution to the news as the Yankees were also offering a setup role for Percival, while the Milwaukee Brewers had also stepped in, albeit only a one-year deal as a closer.

Update: Another report from Ken Rosenthal that not only does Percival NOT need a physical now, he will receive a two-year, $8 million deal. He also turned down a Yankee offer which had more money. Sentimentality still wins sometimes.
