TORONTO — A person with knowledge of the negotiations says the Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a minor league contract with free agent catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the agreement is subject to a successful physical and Toronto had not made an announcement.
Saltalamacchia would get a $1.25 million, one-year contract if added to the major league roster.
Toronto has been looking for a backup catcher to Russell Martin.
