Scott signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays on Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports. |
Scott, who last saw major league action for the Rays in 2013, spent last season in Korea and has played 28 games in Mexico in 2015. The 36-year-old will report to Triple-A Buffalo in hopes of proving he can still be a productive hitter. Given his advanced age, Scott's upside is very limited, from a fantasy perspective. |
Wed Jul 16 2014 | 09:25 | Luke Scott released from Korean League team |
Luke Scott was released by the SK Wyverns of the Korean Baseball Organization Wednesday after showing "disrespectful" behavior toward his coach. |
Scott was on the injured list due to plantar fasciitis and was not pleased with how the team was managing the ailment, calling coach Lee Man-soon a "liar" and a "coward." The 36-year-old hit .267 with six homers in 33 games for Wyvern and was on the injured list three times. He seems likely to sit out the rest of the season before seeking a major league deal over the winter. |
