Yes, you're not seeing things. Toronto was not even listed among the odds.
The signing is a straight four-year deal without any opt-outs.
The contract breaks down as a $5MM signing bonus and a $7MM salary for Okamoto in 2026, and then $16MM in each of the deal’s final three years. Okamoto is represented by the Boras Corporation.
