The Sox agreed to a minor-league deal with righthanded reliever Casey Janssen pending a physical. The 34-year-old will report to Single A Lowell initially.
Janssen was released out of spring training by the San Diego Padres and has not pitched since. He was one of Toronto’s top relievers from 2006-14, posting a 1.21 WHIP and 3.52 ERA. He had 90 saves for the Blue Jays.
Shoulder pain diminished his fastball velocity and Janssen struggled at times for the Washington Nationals last season. He appeared in 48 games and had a 4.95 ERA.
