Kyle Gibson, a veteran right-handed pitcher, is reportedly signing with the Tampa Bay Rays, though it's uncertain whether the deal is major or minor league. After struggling with the Baltimore Orioles, where he had a rough start allowing 23 earned runs in just over 12 innings, Gibson was designated for assignment and released. This leaves the Orioles responsible for his remaining salary, allowing new teams to sign him for a lower cost. The Rays have an open spot on their 40-man roster but will need to make a corresponding move if they sign him to a major league deal.
Gibson, 37, is a veteran with a solid track record but having a rough season so far, which led to a long wait in free agency.
Currently unclear if Gibson's signing with the Rays is a major or minor league deal; a big league contract would require an active roster move.
