Jose Tabata: Playing professional ball again
Tabata signed with the York Revolution of the Atlantic League Professional Baseball on Thursday, JJ Cooper of Baseball America reports.
Tabata signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays last February but failed to crack the Opening Day roster and ultimately never actually suited up for the franchise, despite still being rostered throughout the 2017 campaign. He is returning to professional baseball for the first time since the 2015 season when he slashed .289/.341/.289 in 27 games with the Pirates. Unless he reverts to his 2010 form -- he hit .299/.346/.400 across 405 at-bats with Pittsburgh -- his career in major-league baseball is likely finished.

Blue Jays' Jose Tabata: Inks minor league deal with Blue Jays
Tabata inked a minor league deal with the Blue Jays on Friday that includes an invite to major league spring training, MLB Network's Jon Heyman reports.
Tabata hasn't played at the major league level since 2015 when he slashed .289/.341/.289 over 38 at-bats with the Pirates. He languished at Triple-A Oklahoma City in the Dodgers' system last season before being released before the All-Star break. With the Blue Jays' outfield largely set at this point, it's unlikely that Tabata will crack the Opening Day roster.

Jose Tabata: Cuts ties with Dodgers
Tabata was released by the Dodgers on Saturday, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.
Tabata had been on the DL with Triple-A Oklahoma City. It comes as somewhat of a surprise, however, seeing as how the 27-year-old outfielder is entering his prime years and is a career .275 hitter in the majors. He'll likely be picked up by another organization in need of outfield depth, but he's not guaranteed a stay in the big leagues by any stretch.
