Blue Jays sign Michael Saunders to minor league deal

The Toronto Blue Jays have signed free agent outfielder Michael Saunders to a minor league contract.

What It Means:

Saunders was let go by the Philadelphia Phillies on June 25th. He had previously played for Toronto in the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

In 61 games, Saunders slashed just .205/.257/.360 with Philadelphia. He'll hope to return to form in a familiar place. In his last year with the Blue Jays, the 30-year-old hit .253/.338/.478 with 24 home runs and 57 RBI.
