Report: Deal between Blue Jays, Belisario falls through

Ronald Belisario won't get the opportunity to pitch for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2015 after a widely reported minor-league deal with the club fell through Friday, according to Sportsnet's Mike Wilner.

Belisario, who was designated for assignment by the Chicago White Sox earlier this offseason, reportedly completed a deal with the Blue Jays on Thursday that would've paid him $1.7 million had he earned a spot on the 25-man roster.

The 32-year-old authored a career-worst 5.56 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP over 62 relief appearances for the White Sox in 2014, though he managed a 3.54 fielding independent pitching mark with a robust 59.3 percent ground-ball rate.
