The Toronto Blue Jays have signed leftfielder Melky Cabrera to a two-year deal worth $16 million according to an ESPN report.
The deal was first reported on ESPN's Spanish website, which cited an anonymous source.
Finalization of the deal hinges on Cabrera passing a physical.
Cabrera batted .346 with 11 home runs and 60 RBIs with the San Francisco Giants last season. But he was suspended for a positive testosterone test on Aug. 15 - a month after he was the all-star game MVP - and missed the final 50 games of the season.
He is five hits shy of 1,000 in his big league career.
Cabrera was signed by the New York Yankees in 2001 at the age of 17 and made his major league debut in 2005.
