Blue Jays sign Jonathan Diaz to a minor league deal

The Blue Jays are bringing back a familiar face to spring training this year, signing Jonathan Diaz to a minor league deal on Tuesday. Diaz is now 35 years old, and has spent time with the Blue Jays, Yankees and Red Sox organizations, and was drafted by the Blue Jays in 2006.

While Diaz has never been much of a threat on offence, the 30 year old has experience at shortstop, second base, and in the outfield. He hasn’t spent much time in the major leagues, and has only batted .145/.242/.164 over 55 career at bats from 2013-15.
