![Russell Martin Signs with Blue Jays](https://www.torontomike.com/images/blog/bluejays.gif)
The Blue Jays have signed Russell Martin to a five-year, $82 million contract. Martin hit .290 with the Pittsburgh Pirates last season with 11 home runs and 67 runs batted in.
The Toronto-born player is poised to become the 21st Canadian Blue Jay. I'll update this list after he gets in his first regular season game.
