Blue Jays Agree With Dillon Tate
The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to an undisclosed major-league deal with free-agent right-handed reliever Dillon Tate on Monday, sources tell Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling. The deal is pending a physical. Tate returns to the Jays after they claimed him off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles last September and called him up to the big leagues later that month. The 30-year-old former fourth overall pick by the Texas Rangers in 2015 out of the University of California -- Santa Barbara made four relief appearances for the Blue Jays and allowed two earned runs in 3 1/3 innings before being non-tendered last November. Tate will most likely open the year at Triple-A Buffalo as relief depth for Toronto. He has not lived up to his draft stock whatsoever and has posted a 4.09 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, nine saves, 170 strikeouts and 65 walks in 215 2/3 relief innings in his five big-league seasons.
