Blue Jays Re-Sign Luis Santos To Minor League Deal

By Steve Adams | December 4, 2017 at 2:58pm CDT

The Blue Jays announced Monday that they’re re-signed righty Luis Santos to a minor league contract and invited him to Major League Spring Training.

The 26-year-old Santos (27 in February) made his Major League debut with the Jays back in September and tossed 16 2/3 innings of relief down the stretch. In that brief time, he posted a 2.70 ERA with a 16-to-4 K/BB ratio and a 33.3 percent ground-ball rate. He was also tagged for four home runs.

Santos spent most of the 2017 season as a starter for Toronto’s Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, working to a 4.07 ERA with 8.1 K/9, 3.7 BB/9 and a 36.5 percent ground-ball rate. He totaled 108 1/3 innings in the minors over the life of 21 starts and three relief appearances before making his late-season debut. The Jays outrighted Santos off the 40-man roster a month ago, allowing to become a free agent in the process, but he’ll return for another crack at forcing his way onto the big league roster in some capacity.

    Great Minor league signing. Good on the Jays. I can’t believe that this guy wasn’t signed by another club. I scout his future high. I look forward to good things out of Santos if he is used properly as a reliever and not burned out.

    The wrong Luis Santos is linked. For me at least. The 23 year old Indians A-ball farm hand comes up

      > Now we’ll make the World Series.

      Why do people comment as if signings are an either/or? That signing depth pieces means front offices are thereby ignoring everyday players?

      Clubs cannot put a gun to the head of FAs and force them to sign on the schedule of the fans.
