Hideo Nomo Lands Deal With The Devil Rays
Hideo Nomo, who's fastball has dropped from 90ish to about 82 in the past few seasons, signed a minor-league deal with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Last year Nomo had a few stints on the DL and compiled a record of 4-11 with an 8.25 Earned Run Average. Yikes.

This is a good deal for Tampa Bay, because Nomo has had a good track record. Really, what else can you ask for when you sign a free agent for 800k?
