It should seemingly be no less than one other couple of weeks earlier than Roki Sasaki, the star 23-year-old pitcher coming to MLB from Japan subsequent season, decides which big-league membership he chooses to signal with.

Within the meantime, although, Sasaki’s listing of potential locations has change into more and more clearer.

Dodgers officers, as anticipated, met with the hard-throwing right-handed pitcher earlier than the vacations, in response to folks with information of the state of affairs not approved to talk publicly. 5 different groups are publicly identified to have additionally met with Sasaki: the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants. It’s seemingly Sasaki’s full listing of conferences was longer, too, with different groups just like the San Diego Padres seen as contenders for his providers. The Philadelphia Phillies are the one workforce identified to have been denied a gathering.

Round a lot of the trade, the Dodgers are nonetheless seen as favorites to land Sasaki.

Their curiosity in him dates to final offseason, when there was temporary hope amongst some within the group Sasaki would come to MLB for the 2024 season. Getting into this offseason, the Dodgers additionally had probably the most cash remaining of their 2024 worldwide signing pool; a sign to some across the sport they have been saving funds to signal Sasaki.

Finally, nonetheless, Sasaki determined to attend till the 2025 interval to ink his MLB deal — a call Wolfe mentioned Main League Baseball most popular “to make sure this was going to be a fair and level playing field for everyone.”

Wolfe has strongly denied hypothesis about Sasaki already having a “predetermined” cope with the Dodgers, or every other workforce.

Nonetheless, the Dodgers are nonetheless considered as probably the most logical Sasaki touchdown place, given their standing as defending World Sequence champions, the presence of fellow Japanese stars — and Sasaki’s WBC teammates — Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and their lengthy monitor file of pitching improvement.

In the event that they do land him, on what would successfully be a league-minimum wage, it might solely additional reinforce an injury-prone rotation that was among the many workforce’s lone weaknesses final season.
