TORONTO -- Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos told reporters Friday that his team has interest in signing free-agent reliever Rafael Soriano, who's scheduled to hold an open workout for teams next week in the Dominican Republic.
"Yeah, I think it's fair to say [there's interest]," Anthopoulos said prior to the Blue Jays' series opener against the Astros. "I normally don't comment about specific players, but that's someone that we'll look into. I think it's stating the obvious there."
Reports surfaced Thursday that the Blue Jays were believed to be among several teams in the hunt to acquire the veteran right-hander, who has yet to sign with a team this year after spending the previous two seasons with the Nationals.
