Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports that the Rays have signed Matt Moore to a five-year, $14 million contract. Crasnick says the deal also includes several club options that could raise the total value of the contract to $37.5 million over eights years, and there are also escalators that could push it past $40 million. It's always a risk to lock up anyone this young, especially a pitcher, but these kind of deals very often turn out to be club-friendly if the player cashes in on their potential. Moore, 22, has thrown just 9 1/3 career innings aside from his two postseason starts, but he's viewed as the best pitching prospect in the game.
