Fantasy Impact:

A marquee free-agent signing this offseason, Okamoto will provide some defensive versatility for the Jays and fantasy managers in 2026. The 29-year-old hit at least 27 home runs, and as many as 41, in each season of his professional career in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball since debuting in 2018, before injuries limited him to 15 homers in a 69-game season in 2025.
