The Toronto Blue Jays have announce their first signing of the off-season as they have signed infielder Carlos Mendoza to a minor league deal.
The Blue Jays have been taking their time signing a player so far this off-season as they have been linked to a few huge names but had yet to close a deal until tonight.

While Blue Jays fans were hoping for a bit of a bigger signing for the team's first contract of the off-season, this move with Mendoza seems to be a positive for the farm system.
Mendoza's deal as of right now does not include a major league Spring Training invite but could be subject to change over the next few months.
Tigers AA/AAA utility guru, Carlos Mendoza has signed with the Toronto Blue Jays, according to his instagram.
Hopefully this signing is the beginning of some big moves to come for the Blue Jays this off-season.
