The Blue Jays signed Sanchez to a minor-league contract Friday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
It was initially reported Thursday that Sanchez — who the Blue Jays designated for assignment Tuesday — was outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo after clearing waivers, per Bannon. However, the 28-year-old catcher declined his assignment and elected free agency, but he has opted to stick around with the Blue Jays’ organization and will report to Triple-A anyways. Sanchez is slashing .242/.311/.421 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 106 plate appearances for Buffalo this season.
