Just hours before his posting window was set to close, Japanese free agent corner infielder Kazuma Okamoto found his home in MLB. Many Boston Red Sox fans and reporters saw him as a fit with the club, but he didn't land in Boston.
Okamoto has signed with the Toronto Blue Jays, first reported by MLB insider Jeff Passan of ESPN. The length and amount on his contract have not yet been reported. The longtime Yomiuri Giant is yet another major free agent signing for Toronto this winter (alongside Dylan Cease) and his home run power could be frightening for the division-rival Sox.
