89.5 the Lake Lake Afternoon Drive Logo

You wanna hear the cutest “recruiting win” the Blue Jays have had in a while?

Toronto just brought in Kazuma Okamoto — 29-year-old slugger — and the reason he chose the Jays is almost too wholesome. He said he put all 30 MLB logos in front of his daughter and told her to pick her favourite… and she pointed straight at the Blue Jays bird.

A choice that stuck with him through the whole process.

So yeah, forget analytics. The most powerful scout in baseball this week? A toddler.
