ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Right-hander Hideo Nomo was released Monday by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Nomo, who will turn 37 next month, has said he won't pitch in Japan if he isn't signed by another major league team. He went 5-8 with a 7.24 ERA in 19 starts.
The first Japanese-born player to appear in the majors after playing at the top level in Japan, Nomo has a record of 123-109 in a career that began when he was the 1995 NL Rookie of the Year for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
