Infielder Edgardo Alfonzo, released by the Angels in May and the Toronto Blue Jays in June, signed with the Bridgeport (Conn.) Bluefish of the independent Atlantic League.

The Blue Jays paid about $32,700 for the 18 days Alfonzo spent on their roster, a prorated part of baseball's minimum wage. The Angels remain responsible for the rest of Alfonzo's $7-million salary this year.
