Coghlan signed a minor league contract with the Blue Jays on Saturday, Toronto play-by-play announcer Mike Wilner reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being released by the Phillies earlier in the week, Coghlan will latch on with the Blue Jays and start the season with their Triple-A affiliate at Buffalo. Coghlan, 31, struggled at the plate last season (.188/.290/.318), but he adds defensive versatility that makes him a plug-and-play option in the infield or the outfield for manager John Gibbons if he ultimately gets called back up to the majors.
