Toronto traded for the 31-year-old right-hander Tuesday, a deal that sent Mike Napoli to Texas. Francisco, who had 25 saves for the Rangers in 2009, is expected to compete for the closer job in Toronto with fellow newcomers Jon Rauch and Octavio Dotel. He filed a $4,875,000 arbitration claim while the Rangers countered at $3.5 million. The Blue Jays picked up the negotiations from there. Francisco, who made $3,265,000 in 2010, posted a 6-4 record with two saves and a 3.76 ERA in 56 relief appearances last season. In six seasons with the Rangers, Francisco was 17-15 with 32 saves and a 3.75 ERA. He had 315 strikeouts. --
