The Blue Jays announced this morning the signing of second baseman Gabriel Cancel to a minor league deal.
Cancel will be beginning his time in the Blue Jays organization with the Bisons as he was assigned there after signing.
Alright, Dirty Birds fans, it's time to give a big congratulations to our guy Gabriel Cancel on having his contract purchased by the Toronto Blue Jays . Cancel is the 7th Dirty Bird to have his contract purchased this season. Best of luck, Gabriel
The 29 year old signed with the Royals back in 2015 but was unable to get a call to the majors during his time with the Royals. He most recently was playing for independent baseball team the Charleston Dirty Birds. In 53 games this season, Cancel had a .282 batting average with 39 RBIs and 17 homeruns.
