Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports that free agent left-hander Darren Oliver is close to a deal with the Blue Jays. It's not clear how much the left-hander would get. Oliver had thought to have been a lock to re-up with the Rangers earlier this offseason, but he decided he'd be willing to play elsewhere, and that evidently includes going north of the border. The 41-year-old left-hander earned $3.25 million in 2011 while posting a career-low 2.29 ERA in 61 relief appearances.
