Blue Jays Land Kazuma Okamoto Before Posting Deadline

Jeff Passan reports the Blue Jays reached agreement with Japanese third baseman Okamoto, sources tell ESPN, as his posting window neared its Sunday 4 p.m. CT deadline after weeks of MLB interest. Toronto lands one of the winter’s top NPB bats, a right-handed corner infielder with power and patience, and can use him at third or first. Terms yet to be disclosed.
