Free-agent C Mike DiFelice agreed to terms on a minor-league contract with the Rays, ‘with an invitation to spring training and the opportunity to compete for a backup job,’ reports the St. Petersburg Times.

According to the report, ‘Difelice had offers with the Mets and other teams but said the opportunity for a major-league job as well as the chance to return to the Rays and play near his Palm Harbor home led him to take their offer.’

In 42 games with the Mets during the last three years, DiFelice hit .184 in just 65 at-bats.
