Jose Molina signs with Blue Jays

The Yankees’ 2009 backup catcher Jose Molina is staying in the AL East, but will be with baseball’s only Canada-based team, the Toronto Blue Jays.

Molina will be taking a pay cut from last year. He made $2MM with New York last year, but is only guaranteed $400K with Toronto. He’ll make double that if he makes the team right out of camp, but that’s no guarantee.

Farewell, Jose.

Also, Chien-Ming Wang’s deal with the Nationals is finally official.
