Jay Witasick inked a deal with the Devil Rays on Tuesday, according to the Tampa Tribune. "For the most part, coming here gives me the opportunity to be able to do some pitching," said Witasick. "Being with a team like Oakland, a little more established team when it comes to the bullpen and starting rotation, the innings sometimes are few and far between. Guys are out there going eight innings a night, and that's nothing to complain about, but on the flip side, you can spend seven or eight days down in the 'pen and not have any activity." In 16 appearances with the A's earlier this year, Witasick posted a 3.60 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP.
