The Blue Jays announced that they have signed Jeff Mathis to a two-year
contract extension worth $3MM with a club option for 2015 worth $1.5MM. The
deal marks a lateral move in compensation for the catcher, who made $1.5MM
this season after avoiding arbitration with Toronto over the winter.
Mathis, 29, is hitting .215/.252/.415 with six homers in 147 plate
appearances this season. The backstop spent the first seven years of his big
league career with the Angels before being traded to the Blue Jays for
left-hander Brad Mills. While Mathis is far from an elite slugger, he has
stepped up his offensive production in 2012 and currently has his best OPS of
any full campaign.
Earlier today, it was reported that the Blue Jays were on the verge of
acquiring fellow veteran catcher Yorvit Torrealba off of waivers.
