Infielder Kazuma Okamoto and Blue Jays Agree to Contract, AP Source Says

Okamoto, a six-time Nippon Professional Baseball All-Star with 248 homers, joins the Blue Jays as they strengthen their lineup after a deep postseason run.

  • The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a contract with Japanese third baseman Kazuma Okamoto, who hit.327/.416/.598 with 15 home runs and 49 RBI in 69 games.
  • Coming off their first AL pennant since 1993, the Blue Jays have been aggressive this offseason, adding pitchers Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce, and reliever Tyler Rogers.
  • Okamoto's signing could close the door on free agent Bo Bichette at third base, though Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is set at first base, Andrés Giménez at shortstop, and Ernie Clement at second base.
