The Toronto Blue Jays made bold off-season moves to boost their roster.

They signed Japanese slugger Kazuma Okamoto for lineup power and reliever Tyler Rogers

for bullpins stability.

Their headmine addition was A's Dylan Seas on a 7-year, $210 million contract.

The top deal for pitchers in his reagent, Group.

Seas took the mound for his spring training debut on Saturday.

Over 1.2 innings, he struck out three batters, walked one, and gave up a single hit that

turned into a solo home run.

He threw 33 pitches and touched 97.5 miles per hour on a strikeout.

Seas stayed focused on refining his mechanics rather than the box score.

He aims to lock in his arm slot and shake off early rust to build consistency.

His new manager stressed that repeating his delivery is crucial for peak performance.

Seas brings a strong track record with at least 32 starts over each of the past five seasons.

He finished second in Sai Young voting in 2022 and led the league in strikeouts per 9 innings

twice.

Walks remain his main issue at 3.8 per 9 innings career.

Managers and fans see huge potential if he stays sharp.

Replacing fourth in Sai Young Balloting last year, Seas could anchor the Jay's rotation

all season long.
