Rays officially release right-hander Bush
ST. PETERSBURG -- It was announced Friday that Tampa Bay has officially released right-hander Matt Bush.
Bill Chastain is a reporter for MLB.com. The news did not come as a total surprise, as Bush was removed from the team's 40-man roster in the aftermath of his March DUI hit-and-run arrest in Charlotte County. The Rays had previously stated that Bush would not play for the team, either.
The state of Florida has offered Bush a plea deal; he remains in the Charlotte County jail.
