The Toronto Blue Jays have signed veteran outfielder Michael Bourn to a minor-league contract, according to a report from Ken Rosenthal.
Bourn recently played under Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro and general manager Ross Atkins as a member of the Cleveland Indians. Along with two all-star appearances, Bourn won Gold Gloves in both 2009 and 2010 with the Houston Astros.
