The Blue Jays avoided salary arbitration with utility infielder John McDonald yesterday by signing him to a 1-year deal worth $750,000. He will be Aaron Hill's primary backup at second, as well as battling for time at shortstop with Royce Clayton and Jason Smith.
Lyle Overbay, Reed Johnson, Alex Rios, Scott Downs and Jason Frasor are arbitration eligible this year.

Hold up, stop the presses! You mean you got John McDonald to come back? Maybe because no other team was dumb enough to take him. Your organization is terrible and Vernon Wells should leave because he deserves better.
