The Toronto Blue Jays are in the hunt for the next big Japanese star who is looking to make his way to the major leagues. After a push to the World Series, the Blue Jays are reportedly showing interest in Munetaka Murakami, a 25-year-old star infielder who plays for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, while also representing his country at the 2023 World Baseball Classic. And the Blue Jays have had their eyes on the star for years, according to Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith. What would the Blue Jays be getting in Murakami? His 56 home runs in 2022 set a league record for most home runs by a Japanese player.
