Blue Jays: Exploring Japanese free agents to find position depth

The Toronto Blue Jays are looking to make moves this off-season and are looking at every possible avenue to make their organization better during the rebuild.

Every season, there are usually a few players within the Nippon Professional Baseball who are posted for MLB teams across the league. This posting system is an agreement between the NPB and MLB when it comes to the top stars within Japan attempting to make the jump over the Pacific Ocean to play professional baseball in North America.

How a player becomes posted is based on said player’s service time within the NPB.
