Blue Jays Sign Dewayne Wise

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | April 11, 2011 at 9:06pm CDT

The Blue Jays signed Dewayne Wise to a minor league deal, according to Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star (on Twitter). The Marlins signed Wise in January, but released him before Opening Day, making him a free agent.

Though Wise is dealing with a bunion problem on his foot, the Blue Jays gain some depth by bringing him back to Toronto. Corey Patterson is coming off of the DL, but Rajai Davis is now on the DL with an ankle injury, so the team could use outfield depth, especially in center.

Wise, 33, spent the 2010 campaign with the Blue Jays and hit .250/.282/.393 in 118 plate appearances, backing up at all three outfield positions. The Blue Jays granted him free agency last November.

    I think you’ll see Davis go on the 15-Day DL once he reports and the jays will bring him up. Good thing about minor league deal is it let’s him and the team have flexibility when it comes to movement and roster moves. Solid insurance pick-up. Classic AA

      I think Davis is already on the 15-day DL. We called up Mike McCoy to replace him on the 25-man roster.

      I think, unfortunately for McCoy, we’ll probably send him back down again and bring up Wise.

    Solid pickup. Now we don’t have to collectively hold our breath every time we see McCoy pencilled in as an OFer.

      ugh tell me about it… I can’t take Mccoy out there in the outfield and *shivers* getting regular AB’s

      Why not just call up Mastroianni? Bat him ninth, see what the kid can do.. I rather have a young kid out there then Mccoy, Patterson or Wise.

        Anybody but McCoy.

        Why rush Mastro? Why start his clock when he just landed in AAA? He’ll get a nod once the rosters expand (or sooner if he keeps up his current microscopic sample).

          He’s like 25 isn’t he? Not really rushed.

    Good insurance. Especially when your SP has a perfect game going.

      Me too! I always hated that he wasn’t brought back to the White Sox. I felt Guillen really knew the right times to use him.
