The Blue Jays are still adding to the competition in Dunedin, and were at it again Sunday by bringing in Rafael Soriano for a look this spring. Soriano has signed a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training, and will join the ever-growing field of candidates hoping to crack the major league roster.
Now 36, Soriano didn’t do much for his stock in 2015, waiting until June to sign on with the Chicago Cubs, then only appearing in 6 games before a DL stint with shoulder inflammation essentially ended his season. He was released in September and failed to catch on with another team for the stretch run.
