BFMD 390 – Japanese Star Kazuma Okamoto Signs with Blue Jays – Bat Flips and Maple Dips – A Toronto Blue Jays Podcast

The Toronto Blue Jays made a big and surprising move by signing 3B/1B Kozuma Okamoto to a 4-year $60 million contract. Justin and Patrick break down the deal and what it means for the roster, and whether or not this will stop the Jays from signing Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker. To start the episode, the guys look at the Hall of Fame Ballot Tracker.

There are 30 games left in the season. The Toronto Blue Jays need at least 22 wins. That’s going to be tough. 

Justin and Patrick talk about that, Robbie Ray being AL Pitcher of the Month, and provide roster and injury updates. 

The big topic on the day is Randal Grichuk vs Lourdes Gurriel Jr. They’ve both had consistent playing time over the past 75 games and their numbers are very different. 

Next up: 3 games vs the Oakland Athletics before a trip to the Bronx for 4.
