"Agent Don Nomura tweeted Monday of the Blue Jays' interest in Japanese shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima of the Seibu Lions.

Nomura, who represented Hideo Nomo, Hideki Irabu and other Japanese players, wrote in Japanese: "I heard that the Blue Jays won the posting for Nakajima. Is it true? I could be wrong."

Only the commissioner's office of Major League Baseball and the Seibu Lions know which team has won exclusive rights to negotiate with Nakajima. A decision is expected Tuesday or Wednesday."
