Arkansas infielder Trevor Ezell signed a free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, making him the eighth Razorback to either be drafted or signed since the 2019 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft earlier this month.
Ezell is the first non-drafted Razorback to sign a pro contract this summer and will be joining a Rays organization that is also home to former Razorback pitchers Jalen Beeks and Ryne Stanek. As of now, Ezell is only the third Arkansas player to sign a pro contract since the draft. Right-hander Isaiah Campbell signed his contract with the Seattle Mariners early last week and Jack Kenley signed his contract with the Detroit Tigers last week as well.
