Several media retailers had reported that the 33-year-old right-handed pitcher had signed with Toronto as a free agent on Monday, however the membership solely confirmed it on Friday.
“Couldn’t be more excited to call this place home for at least the next three years,” Bassitt posted on Twitter together with a photograph of the diamond at Rogers Centre. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to join this special group. Let’s do something special.”
Bassitt had a 3.42 earned-run common and a 15-9 document for the New York Mets in 2022, setting profession highs with 30 begins, 181 2/3 innings pitched, and 167 strikeouts.
He was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 2011 and made his Major League debut with the membership in 2014.
Bassitt spent the subsequent six seasons in Oakland, wrapping up his time in an Athletics uniform with an all-star look in 2021.
The six-foot-five, 217-pound Bassitt has made 123 begins and 13 reduction appearances over the course of his eight-year profession, incomes a 46-34 document, a 3.45 ERA, and a 1.20 WHIP.
Left-handed pitcher Anthony Kay has been designated for task to make room on the Blue Jays 40-man roster.
