Joe Matumoto, a 36-year-old left-hander who pitched for Brazil’s national team, agreed Friday to a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays and was invited to spring training.
The native of Sao Paulo, Brazil was selected MVP of the 2005 South American Games, and the Blue Jays said he was considered to be the ace of Brazil’s national team.
Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi watched Matumoto work out earlier this week.
