TORONTO — Toronto acquired $2 million in international signing bonus pool allocation from the Cleveland Guardians that could be used in its pursuit of Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki as part of a trade that also brought underperforming outfielder Myles Straw to the Blue Jays. Cleveland will send $3.75 million to the Blue Jays, offsetting some of the $14.75 million that Straw is guaranteed for the final two years of a $25 million, five-year contract. The Guardians will receive a player to be named or cash. Toronto boosted its international signing pool to $8,261,600.
