The Blue Jays added outfielder Jeremy Reed and right-hander Steve Register to Minor League contracts that include invitations to attend Spring Training with the big league club. After spending five seasons with the Mariners, Reed spent 2009 with the New York Mets, hitting .242 over 126 games in the mets jersey. Earlier this offseason, Toronto inked outfielder Joey Gathright to a similar Minor League deal. Reed and Gathright will likely compete for a backup outfield role on the Opening Day roster.
Register split last season between the Rockies and Phillies organizations. He appeared in one game with Phillies and finished a combined 2-5 with a 3.92 ERA at Triple-A over 50 relief appearances. Originally selected in the third round of the 2004 Player Draft by the Rockies, Register was claimed off waivers by the Phillies in May.
