The Toronto Blue Jays reached an agreement with Japanese slugger Kazuma Okamoto, multiple outlets reported Saturday.
Terms of the deal were not immediately available.
The 45-day negotiating window for the 29-year-old infielder was set to expire on Sunday. If unsigned, he would return to the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball.
Okamoto, who plays third base and first base, is a six-time All-Star in Japan with 248 home runs in 1,074 career games.
He posted six consecutive 30-homer campaigns from 2018-23. He was also part of Japan’s World Baseball Classic championship team in 2023 and hit a home run in the final against the United States.
