ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- The Tampa Bay Rays exercised contract options
Wednesday on pitcher James Shields, closer Fernando Rodney and catcher Jose
Molina.
The team also declined its $6 million option on designated hitter Luke Scott,
instead paying him a $1 million buyout.
Shields, who was 15-10 with a 3.52 ERA last season, gets a $9.5 million salary
next year rather than a $1.5 million buyout. The 30-year-old right-hander
ranked third in the American League in innings (227 2-3), fourth in strikeouts
(223) and 12th in ERA. He has pitched 200 or more innings in six consecutive
seasons.
Tampa Bay has a $12 million option on Shields for 2014 with a $1 million buyout.
Rodney, the AL comeback player of the year, set a club record with a
career-best 48 saves in his first season with the Rays. The 35-year-old
right-hander had a 0.60 ERA, a big league record for a reliever with at least
50 innings pitched. Tampa Bay picked up his $2.5 million option rather than pay
him a $250,000 buyout.
Molina, 37, gets $1.5 million next season instead of a $300,000 buyout. He
batted .223 and set career highs with eight homers and 32 RBIs in 102 games
this year, his 13th in the majors.
The 34-year-old Scott hit .229 with 14 home runs and 55 RBIs in 96 games
during his first year with the Rays. He was on the disabled list twice and
missed 45 games.
