Toronto Blue Jays have signed Kazuma Okamoto to a four-year, $60 million contract, influenced by his daughter’s choice of the team logo. The 29-year-old slugger, a six-time all-star with the Yomiuri Giants, boasts a strong batting record and versatility in the field. Okamoto contributed to Japan’s World Baseball Classic victory in 2023 and is expected to enhance the team’s offensive capabilities, which excelled in batting average but lagged in home runs. Manager Ross Atkins highlighted Okamoto’s ability to perform against various pitching styles as a significant addition to the roster.
