The athletic had him projected at 4 years 78.5m so that’s a great deal
wtf, this is insane value
This guy is going to be a fucking machine for us!!!
Reasonable money. Probably has room to beat it.
Did they have to pay a transfer tax (or whatever it is called) to his JPN team?
Cheaper than signing Bo and Tucker…saves us money for the Okamoto + Bo or Tucker combo. If Ross can pull it off, I will be beyond amazed. Beefed up an already loaded roster.
For those wondering, he’s turning 30 next year, so we’ll have him from 29-34. Not bad at all.
Mets and Yankees fans are furious…. Yeah it’s a good deal
Wow. Better than I thought. 15m a year for this guy? Not bad.
With how round the numbers are in all deals by jays so far it truly seems that they set a value and if they match with players expectations great; deal is done quick (Cease, Ponce)
If player wants to see if they can get more they will wait (Okamoto last days of posting)
So that likely means they had their offers to Bo and Tucker and its up to them to sign. Both were likely hoping for more.
I always thought jays may have offered Tucker like a 10 year/325-340 (his agent wants 400)
Still have room for Bo/Tucker!
Crazy good deal if he meets his projections. Leaves room for one more deal…
It’s interesting that Okamoto got roughly what was expected but the other two Japanese stars got much less than expected.

Okamoto is a freakin’ demon of a player who has insane hitting abilities. As long as he’s healthy, gtting him for 15M per year is a fucking steal.
Nice, solid deal tbh
I wonder if there are any opt outs like Imai.

Jays saw last year’s team and thought “Know what? We can do better.”
Would 30 hr be out of the question for him.
Muni smiling somehere
Most likely outcome with this deal is we re-sign Bichette at a roughly 175-190M x 7-8 years.
We are probably out on Tucker unless we make an OF trade.
I think we re-sign Bichette
Gotta figure a trade is imminent if Tucker or Bo is on the way.
Did he get him in a Boxing Day sale? That’s a steal!
Seems like the type of hitter this FO likes
