Curtis Granderson signs with Blue Jays, per reports

Former Dodgers outfielder Curtis Granderson has reportedly signed a one-year free agent deal for $5 million with the Blue Jays, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

The deal is pending a physical, per Rosenthal, and includes incentives.

Granderson was acquired by the Dodgers from the Mets on Aug. 18 to add left-handed power against right-handed pitchers, but it just didn’t work out. He hit four home runs in his first 10 games with Los Angeles, but ended up hitting only .161/.288/.366 in 36 games with the Dodgers.

He was 1-for-15 with eight strikeouts in the postseason, culminating with a golden sombrero in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Cubs. Granderson was left off the Dodgers’ World Series roster.

He turns 37 in March.

Combining his time with the Mets Granderson hit .212/.323/.452 with 26 home runs and 71 walks in 147 games in 2017, including .214/.337/.470 against right-handed pitching. Granderson in 14 MLB seasons with the Tigers, Yankees, Mets and Dodgers has hit .252/.339/.472 with 319 home runs.
