The Blue Jays reached a tentative deal with the 38-year-old designated hitter Wednesday night and spent Thursday working on drafting an agreement.

Thomas gets a $9.12 million signing bonus that is payable January, a $1 million salary next year and $8 million in 2008. The deal includes a $10 million vesting option for 2009 that would become guaranteed if Thomas has 1,000 plate appearances in the next two seasons or 525 plate appearances in 2008.

Thomas led the Oakland Athletics with 39 homers and 114 RBIs this year, batting .270. In 17 big league seasons, he has hit .305 with 487 homers and 1,579 RBIs.
