The Toronto Blue Jays have signed former Red Sox right-hander Tomo Ohka to a one-year deal with incentives. While contract details were not yet available, Ohka made the choice over Washington and Pittsburgh.

 

The deal, confirmed by Ohka's agent, Jim Masteralexis, will be contingent on Ohka passing a physical examination. Ohka is still in Tokyo and will make his way to Toronto in the next few days to complete the deal.

I seen it flash across ESPN. Not a bad signing because if I seen it correctly it was for only a couple mil. The sad part is he shouldn't be that much of a downgrade from Lilly.

I always crave fried okra when I see him pitch... don't know why though

Is this the first mediocre starting pitcher not signed for 10+ million?

This is a great signing. He's a significantly better pitcher than, for example, Jason Marquis.
