Toronto Blue Jays sign veteran pitcher Mat Latos to minor-league deal
DUNEDIN, Fla. — Mat Latos knows earning a spot on the Toronto Blue Jays roster won’t be easy.
But he’s going to embrace the challenge this spring.
Toronto signed the 29-year-old right-hander to a minor-league deal Thursday with an invitation to major-league camp. He didn’t waste any time getting there, showing up later in the afternoon to meet teammates and begin his workouts.
“I’m happy to just be playing baseball, let’s be honest,” Latos said.
