unrelated but I’ve heard the Blue Jays are really interested in Seo-jun Moon for some of the IFA money that came with Straw. He’s a pitcher who was supposed to go top 3 in KBO draft. Also think we like Jun-hyun Park although I think he’s alittle less likely as of rn.

BREAKING: Blue Jays to sign amateur Taiwanese pitcher Cai-Chen Long to a ~260K IFA deal. By my count this is the first deal from the Jays given to a Taiwanese amateur since 2003. Long has touched 93 on the fastball, great late pickup here.

This deal is now official, Blue Jays have ventured to Europe for another signing, I think there will be some more IFA news soon…
The Toronto Blue Jays have signed another European prospect over the weekend. They signed Dutch shortstop Cayro Hazel. He played this season in the Honkbal Hoofdklasse with the Hoofddorp Pioniers

Will see what happens with the IFA system in the next CBA. But Montas isn’t the only Blue Jays commit in this class having an impressive tournament so far…

I’ve heard this being a possibility for awhile now, teams haven’t been given their bonus pool yet which many in the industry thought to be a sign. Bad timing for the Jays as Fortunato and Montas looked to be on the horizon but this could signal a much needed change in the space.
The 2026–27 international signing period is not expected to take place, according to multiple industry sources. This and much more in The Insider at Beisbol FR. beisbolfr.com/p/the-insider-…

Adding onto this - the Jays recently hired an IFA scout based in Taiwan, seems as though they are really digging into the Pacific Rim with their remaining IFA money.
Blue Jays were one of the teams heavily involved here before he ultimately decided on staying in Korea. Don’t be surprised if the Jays land another pacific rim talent later on this year.

Korean two-way player prospect Ha Hyun-seung (18), from Busan High has chosen to remain in Korea. Around five MLB teams were in the mix to sign him, per sources. Many more details in my May International Notes coming out in a few hours.

I’ve got a couple questions on Tomoya Kinjo. This is not a high profile signing, he won’t be in the majors anytime soon. He’s got some solid stuff but this is a longer term project, won’t be getting a giant bonus.

sounds like Blue Jays 4th round pick Micah Bucknam will miss the year due to injury
