The Tampa Bay Rays have reached an agreement on a deal with Grant Balfour, according to a source.
The Rays will pay Balfour $12 million over two seasons.
The agreement comes more than a month after Balfour agreed to a two-year, $15 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles backed out of the deal after concerns over his physical.
Balfour, a 36-year-old Australia native, went 1-3 with a 2.59 ERA and 38 saves last season in Oakland.
