The Rays have signed Morgan Ensberg to a minor-league deal that will give him a chance to make the team out of spring training.

Ensberg will earn $650,000 if he makes the major league team.

"I haven't had a lot of success lately, so I'm really excited about this," Ensberg said. "There's no pride issue here. I have to go in and play well. This isn't rocket science."
