Blue Jays sign young pitcher Kwon Si-woo for $330,000 after season

The Toronto Blue Jays signed 18-year-old right-handed pitcher Kwon Si-woo to a $330,000 deal. This move follows a disappointing 2026 season, as general manager Ross Atkins emphasizes the need for organizational improvement. Kwon, who features a 93 mph fastball and multiple breaking pitches, comes from Jangchung High School in Seoul. His signing is part of Toronto's ongoing efforts to strengthen their roster and development pipeline, particularly in the Korean amateur market. The Blue Jays aim to rebuild after addressing various weaknesses exposed during the last season.
