The Toronto Blue Jays have been busy this offseason, adding talent in hopes of making another World Series run. Their significant additions are Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, Tyler Rogers, and Kazuma Okamoto.
Okamoto has spent 11 years playing in Japan and now will bring his talents to North America. Last season for the Yomiuri Giants, he hit .327/.416/.598 with 15 home runs, scored 38 runs, and had 49 RBIs. He suffered an elbow injury due to a collision at first base, which forced him to miss half of the season.
The signing of Okamoto has raised questions about whether it eliminates the possibility of re-signing Bo Bichette or signing the number one free agent, Kyle Tucker.
