The Rays have agreed to sign Dominican catcher Eric Otañez, reports Ben Badler of Baseball America. Terms of the deal were not immediately available.
Otanez, a right-handed hitter, was considered to be one of the top Dominican catching prospects in this year's pool of July 2nd-eligible players. The 6-foot-2, 195 pound backstop comes out of La Academia and boasts a strong arm.
