Jays Pick up Brazilian Lefty Joe Matumoto

After Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi watched Joe Matumoto work out earlier this week, the club agreed to a minor league contract with the 36-year-old left-hander, who pitched for Brazil's national team. Matumoto was also given an invitation Toronto's spring training camp.

Matumoto, a Sao Paulo, Brazil native, was selected MVP of the 2005 South American Games, and is considered to be the ace of Brazil's National club.
