The Blue Jays have agreed to a minor league deal with outfielder Victor Arias, which includes an invite to big-league spring training.

Arias is one of four non-roster invitees announced by the club, joining Rudy Martin Jr., Lazaro Estrada and Josh Stephan.

Further details of the contract weren't immediately available.

The signing fills a gap that opened quickly. Toronto released outfielders Daz Cameron and Rhylan Thomas in recent days.

Martin also elected free agency before returning on his own minor league deal. The upper-minors outfield depth chart has been reshuffled in a hurry.

Where does Arias fit? Behind a crowded big-league group, for now.

Toronto's 40-man outfield includes Addison Barger, Anthony Santander, Brett Bateman, Nathan Lukes and Jonatan Clase.

The front office is also chasing outside help. Seiya Suzuki, Randy Arozarena and Teruaki Sato have all been linked to the Jays.

That leaves Arias competing for a depth role, likely starting in Triple-A Buffalo if camp opens on time.

This is a smart, no-risk depth move. The Jays learned in 2026 that the next man up gets called on far more often than anyone plans.

Minor league outfield depth is like a spare tire. Nobody brags about it, but you're stranded without one.

A strong spring can change a player's path quickly. Several Jays made their MLB debuts in 2026 after injuries thinned the roster.

The lockout remains the wild card. With the CBA expiring Dec. 1, nobody knows exactly when camp will open.

For now, Arias has a foot in the door. What he does with it in Dunedin will decide whether he becomes more than a name on the depth chart.
