The Toronto Blue Jays have signed first baseman Tyler White and outfielder Forrest Wall to minor-league contracts with invites to major league camp.

Fansided's Robert Murray was first to report the agreements. Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith has confirmed the signing of White.

White, 30, returns to North America after playing in Korea's KBO in 2020, where he only played nine games. In 256 games over four MLB seasons with the Astros and Dodgers from 2016-19, he hit .236/.315/.409 with 26 home runs and 103 RBIs.

Wall was acquired by the Blue Jays in a 2018 trade with the Colorado Rockies. The 25-year-old spent the majority of the 2019 with double-A New Hampshire but did appear in 14 games with triple-A Buffalo. In 123 minor-league games that season, he hit .268/.351/.422 with 30 doubles and 14 stolen bases.
