Report: Tampa Bay Rays sign Nick Martinez

The Rays and Martinez, who will turn 36 this summer, have signed a 1-year, $13 million contract, which will be finalized after he clears a physical, say reports. The Rays will use the veteran, who pitched in 40 games for the Reds last season, as a starting pitcher. He is the second free-agent swingman they have added this offseason after Steven Matz.
