Another minor signing:
The @BlueJays have agreed to terms with CF Ezequiel Carrera on a minor league deal with an invite to Major League Spring Training

Ezequiel Carrera will likely be spending most of the summer in Buffalo. Last year he played 45 games with the Tigers, hitting .261/.301/.348 in 69 at bats. He also stole 7 bases.
In Triple-A Toledo, he hit .307/.387/.422 with 6 home runs and 43 steals in 97 games and was an International League All-Star for the Mud Hens. In 862 minor league games he hit .288/.363/.381 with 273 steals, caught 91 times.
