Jonathan Diaz signs with Toronto Blue Jays

By Jeff Levering
November 11, 2013

A familiar name to PawSox fans will be heading back the team that originally drafted him. Infielder Jonathan Diaz, who was a key cog in the Pawtucket run to the International League Finals, has signed a minor league contract with an invite to Major League spring training with the Toronto Blue Jays. Diaz, was originally selected by Toronto in the 12th round of the 2006 draft out of North Carolina State.

Diaz, who was sensational defensively playing shortstop, second and third with the PawSox in 2013, batted .253 with a pair of homers, 31 RBI, 45 runs scored and 10 stolen bases. He signed with the Red Sox as a minor league free agent in December of 2012.

He made his big league debut with Boston (against Toronto coincidentally) June 29th. He was 0-for-4 with two runs scored in five games with Boston. He scored the game winning run, in walk-off fashion, on June 30th against the Jays.
