Eric Gagne has signed with the Quebec Capitales of the independent Can-Am League.

Gagne won a Cy Young Award as a closer, but he will be used as a starter.

"When he's able to pitch we'll have a decision to make regarding our veterans. He wants to come to Quebec instead of starting at the bottom in the farm clubs," club director Michel Laplante said.
