The Toronto Blue Jays signed veteran pitcher Brad Penny to a minor league deal Thursday with an invitation to spring training, according to ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick. The team has not released the figures of the contract.
According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca, the deal includes a player opt-out option at the end of spring training.
It looks as though Penny is continuing to attempt a comeback. The 37-year-old right-hander has pitched only 26.0 big league innings over the past three seasons. In fact, Penny was out of the majors in 2013 and 2015.
