Wouldn't mind seeing the Jays land Tatsuya Imai or Cody Ponce. Couple starting pitchers that have some serious upside, and at the very least would provide some solid depth on that front.
Ponce pitched in the KBO last year and has been away from MLB for 4 seasons now, but when you look at his numbers in the KBO last year compared to Lauer's the year prior, he is very intriguing to say the least. Plus I read that he now touches 98mph with his FB.
Imai has outstanding numbers in Japan, is 27 and features a 4 pitch mix that includes a 99mph FB
Hopefully the Dodgers and Yankees having stacked rotations already, and the Jays recent WS run will help land these guys.
