Toronto Blue Jays Sign Japanese Pitcher Tomoya Kinjo, Boosting International Talent Pipeline

The Toronto Blue Jays have signed Japanese right-hander Tomoya Kinjo, adding a raw project with high-velocity potential to their roster. Kinjo, who touched 97 mph with his fastball, was not selected for Japans World Baseball Classic team and has yet to pitch in Nippon Professional Baseball. This move comes after the team locked up infielder Kazuma Okamoto, potentially sparking a Japanese talent pipeline. The Jays begin a World Series rematch with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday, with Max Scherzer starting and right fielder Addison Bargers status uncertain due to ankle tweaks. The team sits at 4-5, hoping these moves and matchups will turn their early season around.
