TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays finalized a two-year, $18 million contract with veteran slugger Frank Thomas on Friday.

The Blue Jays reached a tentative deal with the 38-year-old designated hitter Wednesday night and spent Thursday wrapping up the details.

The contract includes a $10 million option for the 2009 season.

Thomas led the Oakland Athletics with 39 homers and 114 RBI, batting .270 in 2006. He takes over Toronto's vacant DH spot.

In 17 big-league seasons, Thomas has hit .305 with 487 home runs and 1,579 RBI.

It's a nice move for Toronto I suppose. Frank had a good year last year. Not sure if he's worth what he's getting but sometimes you have to overpay for talent. I'm sure this move will only further the Bonds to the A's rumors.
