You’ll likely remember him. Alex Anthopoulos signed him as a free agent back in November of 2012. Maicer got three years at $3 million annually. At the time, it was Alex’s biggest free-agent signing.Alex said he was the ‘leading candidate’ to play second base, but he was still looking to improve the position. Near the same time, Alex traded Mike Aviles to Cleveland for Esmil Rogers. That didn’t work out well either.
Izturis played 118 games in the three seasons, spending more time on the DL than in uniform . The Jays declined the option on the 2016 season, giving him the $1,000,000 buyout.In January 2016, the Jays signed him to a minor-league deal, but he never played again. The Jays traded for Richards before the 2019 season, sending Connor Panas to San Diego. Connor was born in Toronto and played on our National teams some, but never made the MLB.
