The Blue Jays have a verbal agreement in place with Tomo Ohka on a minor
league deal, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet (via Twitter). The
Japanese pitcher, who last appeared in the big leagues in 2009, has
reinvented himself as a knuckleball pitcher.
The 37-year-old may start at Double-A New Hampshire, according to Davidi.
Earlier this offseason, we heard that the Orioles were among the clubs with
interest, but it appears that he'll be going to another AL East team.
