The Toronto Blue Jays signed two non-drafted free agents on Tuesday, including one Canadian.
The team announced that Quebec-born catcher Nicolas Deschamps and Mexico-born infielder Andres Sosa had agreed to contracts.
Deschamps, who turns 19 in September, had previously committed to play at Stetson University next season after playing high-school baseball at TNXL Academy in Florida. According to the minor league baseball transactions list, the left-handed hitter has been assigned to the rookie-level Florida Complex League Blue Jays.
Sosa returned for a second senior season at Dallas Baptist University in Texas after his 2020 campaign was cut short by injuries. In 45 games in 2021, he hit .234 with nine home runs and 32 RBIs.
