The Blue Jays have avoided arbitration with Jason Frasor and re-signed the reliever to a one-year contract worth $825,000.

The Jays added injury prone, and former Atlanta Brave starting pitcher, John Thomson. The one-year deal is worth $500,000 plus incentives. Last year Thomson went 2-7 in 18 games with a 4.82 ERA in just over 80 innings. He had blister problems last season, as well as a mild fraying in his right shoulder. In 2005 he had a tendon injury in his middle finger, limiting to just under 99 innings. In 2004, Thomson was 14-8 with a 3.72 ERA with the Atlanta Braves.
