The Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly re-signed outfielder Rudy Martin Jr., who made his major league debut 12 years after being drafted. The right fielder's return to the organization marks a remarkable journey from draft day to the big leagues.
Martin Jr., a longtime minor league veteran, finally reached the majors after more than a decade in the Blue Jays system. His perseverance through the minor leagues culminated in a debut that came 12 years after Toronto originally selected him in the draft.
The re-signing brings back a player who has become a symbol of persistence in professional baseball. Details of the contract terms were not immediately disclosed.
