Former Twins reliever signs with Blue Jays after stints with Red Sox, Cardinals

Former Twins right-handed reliever Jorge Alcalá and the Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a minor league deal with an invitation to big league camp in spring training, according to 7News Boston WHDH's Ari Alexander.

Blue Jays are Alcalá's third organization he has joined since leaving the Twins

The Twins traded Alcalá to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for minor-league utilityman Andy Lugo on June 11 after Alcalá began the season with an awful 8.88 ERA over 24 1/3 innings. Alcalá's fall-off was mostly unexpected, as he sported a 3.24 ERA with 58 strikeouts over 58 1/3 innings the season prior.
