Blue Jays sign catcher Henry Blanco
Henry Blanco - C - Toronto Blue Jays
Jan. 11, 2013 - 6:25 PM ET

Blue Jays signed C Henry Blanco to a one-year, $750,000 contract.

It's a non-guaranteed deal, but he'll get a 40-man roster spot for now. The Jays already have J.P Arencibia, Josh Thole and Mike Nickeas in-house, so Blanco will merely function as insurance. The 41-year-old backstop batted .188 (12-for-64) with one home run in 21 games with the Diamondbacks last season.
