The Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly signed Cuban free-agent infield prospect Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

Multiple reports Friday said the team and Gurriel had agreed to a “multi-year deal.”

The 23-year-old was declared a free agent by MLB in August.

Gurriel, the younger brother of Astros infielder Yulieski Gurriel, has a career .277 batting average over 1,098 career plate appearances in Cuba’s Serie Nacional.
