He had a .321 average with six homers and 40 RBIs in 96 games last season.
Estrada made 18 starts for the Brewers in 2014 and had a 7-6 record with a 4.36 earned-run average.
The Blue Jays also exercised contract options on left-hander J.A. Happ at $6.7 million and catcher Josh Thole at $1.75 million.
