Drew Rasmussen and the Rays are finalizing a multi-year deal worth $8.5MM, extending club control while securing mutual benefits through salary adjustments and options.
Rasmussen's deal includes a $500K signing bonus, a $2MM salary in 2025, and a $5.5MM salary in 2026, among other financial arrangements.
Due to an internal brace procedure on his elbow, Rasmussen missed two seasons, affecting his arbitration price; this deal represents a strategic financial step for both parties.
The Rays' investment in Rasmussen for the next two years may provide stability while they navigate his recovery, locking in compensation in exchange for a year of free agency.
