Maybe its not Spanish for Blue Jay. This guy has lost it and isn't a very good teammate. My guess is he won't make the team but can get some work in so another team to take a chance.Relief pitcher Armando Benitez agreed to Tuesday to a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The 35-year-old right-hander went 2-8 with a 5.37 ERA and nine saves in 55 games with Florida and San Francisco last season.
Benitez has 289 saves over a 14-year, including a career-high 47 with Florida in 2004. He has struggled with injuries in the past three years, including a torn hamstring and arthritis in both knees. The Blue Jays would be his seventh team.
Toronto lost left-hander B.J. Ryan to season-ending elbow surgery last April. Ryan is expected to make his spring training debut this week and hopes to be ready for Opening Day.
Right-hander Jeremy Accardo replaced Ryan as closer last season, going 4-4 with 30 saves.
