TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly signed free-agent pitchers Clay Buchholz and Bud Norris, according to multiple reports.

Buchholz started 16 games for the Arizona Diamondbacks last season, going 7-2 with a 2.01 earned-run average.

He spent 10 seasons with the Boston Red Sox and won a World Series with them in 2013 before playing for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2017.

Norris converted on 28-of-33 save opportunities last year with the St. Louis Cardinals and pitched a total of 57.2 innings.

He has been used primarily in relief over the last few seasons after beginning his career as a starter.
