On the afternoon of this Monday, August 16, it was announced that Tampa Bay Rays have signed David Robertson to a contract for Major League Baseball (MLB). The team has relied on the veteran pitcher after he won the silver medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics with the United States Baseball National Team.
David Robertson has become a new pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays, since in the last hours he closed a negotiation with the organization and would join the team for the remainder of the 2021 MLB Season.
The pitcher’s contract is for the Major Leagues, but as part of the adaptation process he will report and will spend a few days training in Durham, Triple-A Minor League (MiLB) branch of the ‘Rayas’.
To make room on the 40-man roster for the 2021 Tokyo silver medal winner with the United States, Tampa Bay decided to transfer fellow pitcher Jeffrey Springs from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
David Robertson hasn’t pitched in MLB since 2019, the year he wore the colors of the Philadelphia Phillies. He had a brief 6.2 inning run, allowing four runs that brought his ERA to 5.40.

I joined ‘Al Bat’ in September 2020, starting a new work stage in which I always seek to give my best version, in addition to leaving a significant mark on the passage of women in an industry that is managed mainly by men. Degree in Communication Sciences and Techniques from the Inter-American University for Development (UNID), I am a specialist in sports journalism, writing and editing texts, I have three years of experience covering sports, especially baseball from the Mexican Baseball League (LMB ), Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (LMP) and MLB. I was an intern at the LMB Leones de Yucatán Baseball Club, with whom I attended the 2019 Rey Series. I have done work for social networks such as the coverage of the 2019-2020 edition of the LMP Final for ‘Con Las Bases Llenas’. I am constantly updated on social media, SEO, Google positioning, writing, digital journalism, as well as the place of women in the sports industry. Originally from Mérida, Yucatán, my first approach to baseball was in a game of Lions of Yucatán, in the ‘Kukulcán Álamo’ Park, in 2015; and that changed my life completely. The ‘Melenudos’ are the team of my loves and the greatest passion I have in this sport. Although I dedicate myself to baseball most of the time, my sport, in the beginning, was (and still is) soccer. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich won my heart and fans from ‘minute one’ and I am fortunate to have already seen them play live. Clearly, I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Neuer.
