Free agent outfielder Colby Rasmus has agreed to terms with the Rays, according to multiple reports. Jon Heyman and Ken Rosenthal reported that the two sides were closing in on a deal. Joel Sherman has the reported details:
Can confirm @JonHeyman@Ken_Rosenthal Rasmus in agreement with #Rays. Hear will get base in $5M range with bonuses that can get to $7M-ish

Defensively, Rasmus is capable of manning all three outfield positions, and he still profiles as a fielding asset at the corners. With the great Kevin Kiermaier pinning down center for the Rays, look for Rasmus to settle in as the primary left fielder.
