"The Toronto Blue Jays have already crossed off a couple of major needs this offseason. They've added plenty of pitching. Dylan Cease is a top of the rotation arm and Cody Ponce, along with Rule 5 Draft add Spencer Miles, could fit in the rotation or in the bullpen. Meantime, Tyler Rogers and Chase Lee were brought in to bolster the 'pen."
"The 25-year-old left handed slugger was posted by the Yakult Swallows and has until Dec. 22 to sign with a team in MLB, and MLB Network's Jon Morosi says both the Blue Jays and the Red Sox have shown interest in signing him. "Murakami is of interest to teams like the Red Sox, the Mariners, the Tigers, the Phillies, the Mets, the Jays, a lot of different teams," Morosi said."
The Blue Jays prioritized pitching this offseason with additions including Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, Rule 5 pick Spencer Miles, Tyler Rogers and Chase Lee. The lineup remains a need after shortstop Bo Bichette entered free agency. Everyday infield options currently include Andrés Gimenez, Ernie Clement and Addison Barger, but the team is reportedly seeking a high-upside bat. Munetaka Murakami, a 25-year-old left-handed slugger posted by the Yakult Swallows, has drawn interest from multiple teams and has until Dec. 22 to sign with an MLB club. Murakami offers significant power potential despite some swing-and-miss concerns.
