Ex-MLB star picks the favorite to land Roki Sasaki among Dodgers, Padres, Yankees, Mets, Cubs, Rangers, Giants - Source: Imagn
Japanese ace Roki Sasaki, posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball, has drawn interest from multiple MLB teams, including the LA Dodgers, San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants.
Sasaki, 23, is an international amateur free agent, which means teams will need to use their international pool money to secure his services.
Since being an inexpensive option, Sasaki is seen as one of the most valuable pitchers available. Over the last few years, several Japanese players have joined West Coast teams, most notably the Padres and the Dodgers.
For Sasaki, things likely won't change as former MLB star Chris Young picks a West Coast team, who is favorite to land Sasaki.
