Former San Francisco Giants outfielder Rajai Davis and the Toronto Blue Jays agreed Tuesday to a two-year, $5.75 million contract, avoiding salary arbitration.
Davis, who played with the Giants in 2007-08, gets $2.5 million this year and $2.75 million in 2012. Toronto holds a $3 million option for 2013 with a $500,000 buyout.
The 30-year-old speedy outfielder hit .284 last season with five homers, 52 RBIs and 50 steals for the Oakland A's, where he played from 2008-10 before being dealt to Toronto in November for a pair of minor leaguers.
Davis was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 38th round in 2001 and played with the Bucs in 2006 and 2007.
