Blue Jays signed INF Maicer Izturis to a three-year, $10 million contract with a club option for 2016.
The length of the agreement is nice for the switch-hitting infielder but the money is far from outrageous for the Blue Jays. In other words, it seems like a pretty well-crafted agreement for both sides. Izturis is capable of playing solid defense at three different positions and provides a nice element of speed. He's likely to see regular action at second base with Toronto in 2013.
