And the Blue Jays, while they like Tanaka — and scout Danny Evans, former Chicago White Sox general manager, has seen him pitch — are not into seven-year deals, rightly or wrongly.

Expect Tanaka, 24-0 with the Rakuten Golden Eagles last season in Japan, to sign with the New York Yankees, the Seattle Mariners or the Los Angeles Angels.

Then, look for the Jays to try to sign a free agent — either Ubaldo Jimenez or Ervin Santana.
