Report: Blue Jays bolster offence with Kazuma Okamoto signingThe Toronto Blue Jays’ front office has struck again, this time reportedly landing Japanese slugger Kazuma Okamoto. ET, has agreed to a free-agent contract with the Blue Jays, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Saturday. His deal will be worth $60 million over four years, as first reported by the New York Post’s Jon Heyman, and will include a $5 million signing bonus without any opt-outs. Defensively, Okamoto has spent time both at first and third base, winning Gold Gloves in Japan at both positions. It’ll be interesting to see how the Blue Jays plan to deploy Okamoto, considering they already have franchise cornerstone Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at first and feature multiple options at third, including Ernie Clement and Addison Barger.
