Diamondbacks Sign Jon Jay, Edwin Jackson
5 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks signed outfielder Jon Jay and pitcher Edwin Jackson to minor league deals on Monday. Jay will make $1.5 million if he's on the major league roster with another $1.75 million in incentives, according to USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale. The 34-year-old (35 in March) played in just 47 games for the White Sox last year due to injuries, and he hit a weak .267/.311/.315 with no homers and nine RBI. Jay will compete for a reserve outfield spot and probably won't have any fantasy value beyond deep NL-only leagues if he makes the team out of spring training. Jackson, 36, had a nightmarish 9.58 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in 13 starts and five relief outings for the Blue Jays and Tigers last season. At best, he might be looking at a long-relief role for the Snakes.
