The Toronto Blue Jays spent much of the last week being linked to former Los Angeles Dodgers starter Hyun-Jin Ryu, but it appears they have zigged when the rest of the league expected them to zag. According to multiple sources, the Jays are close to a deal with Japanese starting pitcher Shun Yamaguchi. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic mentioned the team was targeting Yamaguchi, building off of reports from Japanese media that a deal was already in place between the two sides.
