TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays laid some groundwork for a potential Roki Sasaki signing, acquiring international bonus pool room from the Cleveland Guardians on Friday.
According to two industry sources, they’re adding $2 million in space — pushing their total up to $8,261,600. The deal does not mean that Sasaki has made up his mind or that he’s given the Blue Jays any indication of his decision, one source added.
To get the bonus pool room, the Blue Jays are taking back Myles Straw and his contract. The outfielder Cleveland was outrighted off the roster last March and is due $6.4 million this season, $7.4 million next year and comes with a club option for $8 million with a $1.75-million buyout in 2027.
Cleveland is also sending the Blue Jays an undisclosed amount of cash, while the Blue Jays will send the Guardians a player to be named or cash.
