Deion Sanders signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue
Jays today after being released by the Cincinnati Reds last week.
He will report to Class AAA Syracuse on Thursday, the Blue Jays
said.
The outfielder, 33, didn't play baseball in the 1998 and 1999
seasons. The two-sport star is still on the roster of the Washington
Redskins.
Sanders hit .173 in 32 games for the Reds. He was released Friday,
one week after the Reds cleared a roster spot for Ken Griffey Jr. by
designating Sanders for assignment.
