TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays could soon have another Clemens in their organization.

Roger Clemens pitched two seasons for the Blue Jays from 1997-98. He led the American League in wins and won the Cy Young Award in both years.

Kacy Clemens, 22, hit .305 with 12 homers and 49 runs batted in through 62 games at Texas this season, his senior year.
