Blue Jays add former standout Twins reliever after flameout with Red Sox

The Toronto Blue Jays are continuing to spend the majority of this offseason by beefing up the pitching department, this time taking a flier on a player looking for a bounce back season. According to Ari Alexander of 7News Boston, right-hander Jorge Alcala has agreed to a minor league deal with the Blue Jays with an invite to spring training.

It's a low cost, high reward type of move which the Blue Jays have become known for over the last few years and there are some underlying factors that point to why Toronto thinks Alcala could become an important part of the team down the road.
