The Toronto Blue Jays could be seeing a lot more of J.P. Arencibia in 2015.

The former Blue Jays catcher is nearing a deal with the Baltimore Orioles, a source confirmed Thursday. Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun first reported the sides were nearing a minor league deal.

Arencibia debuted to considerable fanfare in 2010, when he hit the first pitch he saw for a home run, one of two homers he’d hit in his Blue Jays debut. The former top prospect seemed set to become a fixture behind the plate in Toronto when he hit 23 home runs in 2011, his first full season.

But after hitting 18 home runs with a .710 OPS in 2012, he struggled mightily in 2013, hitting 21 home runs with a .592 OPS on his way to getting non-tendered by the Blue Jays.

Arencibia signed with the Rangers following the 2013 season, but he struggled in Texas, batting .177 with 10 home runs and a .608 OPS. However, he did hit 14 home runs with an .862 OPS at triple-A Round Rock.

The Orioles have considerable catching depth, even with Matt Wieters recovering from Tommy John surgery. Caleb Joseph, Ryan Lavarnway and Steve Clevenger are among Baltimore’s options behind the plate, though Arencibia also has experience at first base and DH.
