    Michael Nakamura, who was removed from Toronto’s 40-man roster after the season, is currently working out for teams in Japan.
    Major leaguers typically just sign with Japanese teams, but since Nakamura’s father was Japanese, he’ll be a part of the amateur draft later this month.

    Michael Nakamura has agreed to a one-year deal with the Nippon Ham Fighters of Japan’s Pacific League.
    Pitching for the Twins and Blue Jays, Nakamura, 28, had a 7.51 ERA in 38 1/3 IP over the last two years.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher
    Twins purchased the contract of RHP Mike Nakamura from Triple-A Rochester.
    Nakamura was 4-4 with a 2.01 ERA and two saves in 21 games for Rochester this season. He has a chance to be a solid reliever, but he’s not likely to have any fantasy value.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher
    Twins designated RHP Michael Nakamura for assignment.
    It was rather surprising that Nakamura was given so little of a chance to make the Twins this spring. He’d be a decent option as a 12th pitcher if anyone wants to claim him.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher
    Blue Jays claimed RHP Michael Nakamura off waivers from the Twins.
    We like this one better than the Sean Douglass pickup, especially since Nakamura still has an option left. He’ll be assigned to Triple-A Syracuse for now, but he will debut in the Toronto bullpen by June or July.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher
    Blue Jays reecalled RHP Micheal Nakamura from Triple-A Syracuse.
    Nakamura isn’t going to be a candidate for saves, but like Jason Frasor, he should be another average right-handed reliever for the Jays. If the offense starts producing, the Toronto pen will record a lot of victories.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher
    Blue Jays recalled RHP Michael Nakamura from Triple-A Syracuse.
    Nakamura was decent during his first month with the Blue Jays and he’ll probably be decent again. He doesn’t have much in the way of long-term upside, but as an 11th or 12th pitcher, he’s fine.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher
    Blue Jays optioned RHP Mike Nakamura to Triple-A Syracuse.
    Nakamura allowed seven runs in 7 1/3 innings during his latest stint in the majors.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher
    Blue Jays optioned RHP Micheal Nakamura to Triple-A Syracuse.
    Nakamura had given up runs in his last four outings, but he had surrendered 17 hits and had an 18/4 K/BB ratio in 15 2/3 innings since being called up. Expect to see him again soon.
