Pitcher Eric Gagne of Macouche is coming back to pitch in his home province.
The former Cy Young Award winner has accepted a deal with the Quebec Capitales of the independent Can-Am League.
A reliever throughout most of his major league career, Gagne will pitch as a starter for the independent league team, the club said in a news release.
Gagne, 33, has posted a 33-26 major league record with 187 saves.
He made his major league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1999 and has also pitched for the Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers.
He captured the National League Cy Young Award, given to the league's best pitcher, in 2003.
