Jays Add Six-Time NPB All-Star Kazuma Okamoto

The Blue Jays have officially announced their signing of six-time NPB All-Star Kazuma Okamoto to a four-year, $60 million deal! Jeff Blair (3:30) stops by Sportsnet Today with Sho Alli and Zack Bodenstein to break down the signing, and what it means for the Blue Jays going forward from an alignment perspective and in free agency. Plus, what is the landscape of MLB as the off-season continues? Afterwards, Yahoo Sports' Jordan Shusterman (17:52) joins for a deeper dive on Okamoto's play in NPB and how that will transition to MLB, and what it means for the Jays now that they have made a big splash in the international signing market.
