Jakubauskas is a right-handed swingman who has played parts of three seasons in the majors for the Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Baltimore Orioles. He has compiled a career 5.58 ERA over 166 innings with 5.4 K/9 and 3 BB/9 (15 starts). Jakubauskas's fastball averages about 90 mph, and he mixes in a curveball and occasional change.
Jakubauskas did not pitch in the majors in 2012, instead splitting time between Arizona's and Toronto's farm systems. Between AA and AAA ball, he compiled a 4.29 ERA over 65 innings. Jakubauskas's 2012 strikeout and walk rates remained consistent with his major league rates.
The terms of the signing have not yet been announced.
UPDATE:
According to Adam McCalvy on Twitter, Jakubauskas's is a minor league deal without an invite to the major league camp. Still, he may see action in spring with others at the World Baseball Classic.
