The Tampa Bay Rays have signed Matt Bush, the former number one overall pick by the Padres in the 2004 MLB Amateur Draft, according to a report from Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times.

Bush will receive a minor league contract.

Bush was drafted as a shortstop but converted to a pitcher.

San Diego traded Bush to Toronto last year, but the Jays eventually released him.
