The market for Japanese star pitcher Kodai Senga is taking shape.

The Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, and Los Angeles Angels are interested in signing the right-hander, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are also reportedly pursuing the 29-year-old.

Senga posted a 1.94 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 156 strikeouts over 144 innings during the 2022 campaign with the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball.

The hurler doesn't need to go through the posting system since he's accrued enough service time to test international free agency.
