US EditionMcClanahan, Hoping to Pitch in 2026, Signs with Rays
The Rays kept McClanahan under control with a $3.6 million deal matching his last two seasons as he rehabs from a second Tommy John surgery.
- Shane McClanahan avoided arbitration by signing Wednesday a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Tampa Bay Rays; he is a two-time All-Star who last pitched in August 2023.
- Earlier this year, McClanahan left a March 22 spring start due to a nerve inflamed in his left triceps and had surgery on Aug. 11, 2023, for nerve issues.
- Through his first 74 Major League starts, Shane McClanahan had a 3.02 ERA across 404.2 innings with 456 strikeouts, and he was 11-2 with a 3.29 ERA in 21 starts before his 2023 injury.
- Now the arbitration roster sits at 12 after the deal, and the one-year agreement keeps Shane McClanahan under Tampa Bay Rays control through 2027.
- If healthy, Shane McClanahan could prove he remains the Tampa Bay Rays' ace, and a strong 2026 season would likely earn him a sizable raise next winter while the Rays add roster pieces.
