Blue Jays signed INF Rodolfo Castro to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Castro has decent pop and will take a walk, but he never has figured out how to hit for average; he’s come in at .219/.292/.380 in 627 major league plate appearances with the Pirates and Phillies and he finished at .235/.324/.421 in Triple-A last season. He’s still just 26, so maybe the Blue Jays can work some magic with him.
