Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - The Toronto Blue Jays signed pitcher Casey
Janssen to a two-year contract on Monday.
The deal, which is worth $5.9 million, includes a $4 million club option for
the 2014 season.
Janssen, 30, appeared in 55 games last season, recording a 6-0 record with a
2.26 earned-run average and two saves. He became only the third Blue Jays
pitcher, and first since Dennis Lamp (11-0) and Tom Filer (7-0) in 1985 to win
at least six games without a loss.
In five major league seasons, all with Toronto, Janssen has a 21-19 record
with a 3.81 ERA in 221 appearances -- 22 starts.
