Blue Jays reportedly close to signing Canseco

The Toronto Blue Jays are close to signing free-agent slugger Jose Canseco, The Toronto Star reported Thursday.

We’ve advanced in the negotiations, Canseco’s agent, Juan Iglesias, said Wednesday. I think we’re close enough to say it will happen. . . if they want it to, by the end of this week, or Monday at the latest.

The deal is believed to be worth $2 million a year, plus incentives. Canseco, 33, earned $4.725 million last season with Oakland.

They’re studying our offer, Blue Jays general manager Gord Ash said. The time frame is entirely up to them.

The outfielder/designated hitter hit .235 last year with 23 homers and 74 RBIs. He has a .269 average with 351 homers and 1,107 RBIs in 13 seasons with Oakland, Texas and Boston.

For the University of Clemson, finishing its 88-79 loss to No. 2 University of North Carolina down a man was nothing more than a bizarre way to end one of the oddest games in Atlantic Coast Conference history.

The Tigers committed an ACC-record 41 fouls Wednesday night as six players were disqualified, leaving Clemson coach Rick Barnes confused and with little choice but to play the final 1:10 with only four players against one of the best teams in the nation.

I will promise you this, we had nine guys foul out this season coming into this game, and we did not say we have to be more physical, we have to foul more, we have to do this I don’t know what happened, Barnes said.

The Tar Heels, coming off a 48-point win over Florida State, were able to survive Clemson’s rough and tumble tactics and war of words for a victory over a team that has become a bitter and brutally physical rival.

With the win, North Carolina (21-1, 7-1 ACC) moved within a half game of league-leading, top-ranked Duke, which plays Maryland on Thursday night. The Tar Heels made 41 of 59 free throws.

Meanwhile, the Tigers (12-8, 3-5) a preseason top five team have lost five of their last seven and are 0-44 all-time in Chapel Hill.
