Signing him to a minor league deal for a third straight season would be wise because he provides depth at Triple-A and is passable in short spurts in the Majors. Plus, he's Canadian, so that's cool.Minor league veteran catcher...

Ontario Blue Jays: Paving the way for tomorrow’s superstars
Baseball in Canada has sure changed since my playing days in the late 90’s early 2000’s.
