The Toronto Blue Jays have signed free agent Canadian catcher Russell Martin to a multi-year contract, the Toronto Star reported.
The five-year contract is worth $82 million and won't be finalized until Martin passes a physical examination. It does not carry a no-trade clause.
Martin, born in Toronto but raised in Montreal, Quebec, spent the past two seasons as the Pittsburgh Pirates' catcher. He batted .290 with 11 home runs and 20 doubles, and drove in 67 over 111 games in 2014.
Since breaking into Major League Baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2006, Martin has compiled a career .259 batting average.
He has blasted 119 homers, 191 doubles, 540 RBI and 550 runs scored over 1,163 appearances for the Dodgers, New York Yankees and Pirates.
