Report: Blue Jays agree to minor-league deal with Floyd
Gavin Floyd may have only given the Toronto Blue Jays 28 appearances last season before a sprained shoulder put him out of action, but it appears that was enough to earn him a new deal with the club.
Toronto has re-signed the 33-year-old right-hander to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training, according to MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm.
Floyd will receive $1 million if he makes the major-league roster, reports Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.
Once a durable starter in the Chicago White Sox organization, Floyd made 30-plus starts per season for the club from 2008-11, but has struggled with injury since 2013, appearing in only 49 games since then.
During his time with the Blue Jays last season, Floyd posted a 4.06 ERA over 31 innings of work, striking out 8.7 hitters per nine innings.
Over the course of his career, the veteran owns a 74-76 record with a 4.37 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 243 appearances, 196 of which have been starts,
