A Japanese shortstop is looking to make the jump to the majors at the age of 33.

Takashi Toritani is mulling offers from the Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres, reports Brendan Kennedy of the Toronto Star.

Toritani, a free agent that will not require a posting fee in order to play in North America, has hired agent Scott Boras to represent him. It's believed he's only looking for a short-term deal after a lengthy career with the Hanshin Tigers of the Japan Central League. Toritani slashed .313/.406/.415 with eight home runs and 10 stolen bases in 144 games last season.

The Padres are open to giving Toritani the opportunity to play his natural shortstop position with the club, while the Blue Jays want him to slide to second base in order to accommodate Jose Reyes.

The terms of the respective offers have not been revealed to this point.
