Reliever Al Reyes declined his outright assignment to Durham and is now a free agent.

 

Reyes, 38, was designated on Aug. 9 when the Rays acquired reliever Chad Bradford. Reyes had missed 55 games this season while spending two stints on the disabled list. In 26 games this season, Reyes boasted a 4.37 ERA.

 

Reyes made a huge impact with the Rays last season, making the club as a non-roster invitee and saving 26 games in 30 chances.

 

Reyes is the second Rays reliever to decline an outright assignment this season; RHP Gary Glover did so on Aug. 1 and has since joined the Tigers.

I haven't seen much of him this year, but I remember her was pretty solid last year. Could he be a good addition to the bullpen?

His arm is in shreds. With Percy on the DL, you gotta think this guy would have a spot in the Rays pen. But he's throwing mid 80s now and seems to rip something in his shoulder every time he moves.
