The Toronto Blue Jays managed to land one of the big three Japanese players who were posted this offseason. Bringing in Kazuma Okamoto gives them the type of player they have long coveted, an impact guy from the pacific rim who was a star player in Nippon Professional Baseball. After missing out on Shohei Ohtani and Roki Sasaki in recent years, signing the 29-year-old Okamoto feels like a big win for the front office.
They also have a chance to double down on that group as early as next season as Tatsuya Imai came to an agreement with the Houston Astros, but he may not be sticking around in the Lone Star State for long.
