Toronto could also be a major player for Cody Bellinger, who, outside of Ohtani, is the top hitter on the market amidst an incredibly weak class of free-agent position players. According to Passan, the Blue Jays could be among the teams involved in his bidding process. Yamamoto’s impending arrival to MLB has been overshadowed by Ohtani’s free agency thus far, although the 25-year-old starter is considered the best pitcher available this offseason. But there are certainly a few other big fish in free agency that management could pursue, namely Japan’s Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The “something big” is referencing the organization’s interest in the Ohtani sweepstakes, and understandably so. The Blue Jays sound like they'll be in the mix to sign Shohei Ohtani according to a new report.
