The Toronto Blue Jays have made it clear they have not finished adding playing and it looks like they are looking to bring in more talent from overseas in Kazuma Okamoto.
The Blue Jays already signed Cody Ponce who was playing in the KBO this off-season and have been linked to a couple other international free agents as well.
Blue Jays linked to Kazuma Okamoto
According to recent reports, Okamoto in currently in the United States as he is approaching his signing deadline which is this week and is meeting with teams but it has yet to be confirmed which teams he is meeting with.
Among the teams interested in him there is the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Angels, Pittsburgh Pirates and the Blue Jays.
Kazuma Okamoto is reportedly in the US for in-person meetings as his posting deadline approaches at the end of the week.
The Blue Jays, Cubs, Red Sox, Diamondbacks, Padres, Angels, and Pirates are listed as potential suitors.

Clearly Okamoto has interest from quite a few teams which means he should be able to land himself a solid deal at some point this week.
If the Blue Jays can find a way to land Okamoto it could end up being a great fit as he is known for his hitting ability which is something the Blue Jays are still looking for this off-season.
When signing international free agents, there is always a bit of a risk since they have never faced MLB pitching but Okamoto seems to be a safe bet from everything he has shown overseas.
