The Toronto Blue Jays' pursuit of Teruaki Sato is real now: the Hanshin Tigers posted the Japanese Triple Crown winner, and a bidding war is coming. Sports Hochi reported 7 MLB teams are interested, the Mets' David Stearns flew to Japan to watch him, and Jim Bowden projects 5 years and $180 million. With the lockout clock ticking toward December 1, here's why Toronto, last in baseball in home runs in 2026, needs Sato more than anyone. Nick Gosse breaks it all down.
