TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have signed free agent outfielder Michael Brantley to a three-year deal, according to multiple reports.

Sportsnet was first to report the deal.

The Blue Jays didn’t immediately respond for comment.

The move Wednesday comes a day after the Blue Jays agreed on a reported six-year, US$150-million deal with outfielder George Springer — a teammate of Brantley’s with the Houston Astros — pending a physical.

The 33-year-old Brantley is a four-time all-star.
