Devil Rays sign Stevens

? Former Lawrence High baseball standout Lee Stevens and right-hander Bob Wells agreed Tuesday to minor league contracts with the Tampa Bay Devils Rays and were invited to spring training.

Stevens, a 35-year-old first baseman/outfielder, played with Montreal and Cleveland last season, hitting .204 with 15 home runs and 57 RBIs in 116 games. He started the season with the Expos and was part of the six-player trade in June that sent right-handers Bartolo Colon and Tim Drew to Montreal.
