The New York Yankees have signed first baseman Greg Bird to a minor league contract. He will be reporting to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre, a familiar place for him. The 29-year-old was released by the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this week, despite having a solid spring with the club. Over 11 games and 28 plate appearances this spring, he slashed .261/.393/.565 with two home runs and a double. We could be a few injuries away from seeing Bird in pinstripes once again.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller

The Toronto Blue Jays released first baseman Greg Bird on Monday, according to a source. The Jays were strongly considering adding him to the 40-man roster this spring, but they have decided to part ways instead. There's a chance that Bird could re-sign with Toronto, but other teams will likely have interest in him after a strong spring showing. The 29-year-old was sporting a healthy .958 OPS in spring training with two home runs, six RBI and a .261/.393/.565 slash line in 11 Grapefruit League games over 28 plate appearances. Once considered an intriguing left-handed power bat for the New York Yankees, Bird could latch on elsewhere as organizational depth at first base.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Toronto Blue Jays signed first baseman Greg Bird to a minor league deal on Thursday. Bird played in parts of four major league seasons with the New York Yankees from 2015-19 and spent last year with the Colorado Rockies Triple-A affiliate, where he hit .267 with an .894 OPS and 27 home runs. The 29-year-old left-handed slugger never got his career off the ground in the Bronx due to injuries, but the Blue Jays are an intriguing landing spot. In his four seasons with the Yankees, Bird hit .211/.301/.424 with 32 home runs and 98 RBI in 700 plate appearances over 186 games. It will be an uphill climb for Bird to make it back to the big leagues, but he's worth keeping an eye on in the minors in 2022.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
