Dodgers Meet With Roki Sasaki Again
The Los Angeles Dodgers met with Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki for a second time on Tuesday to make one final pitch to the 23-year-old phenom, according to league sources. It was reported on Monday that the Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays are the three finalists for Sasaki's services. The Dodgers were one of the first teams to meet with Sasaki last month and have been considered the favorites all along to land him after winning the World Series last fall. The Dodgers' second and final pitch was expected to feature several of their star players, most likely including two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. LA committed more than a billion dollars to add Japanese stars Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto last offseason and are now trying to get Sasaki at a bargain. Despite durability issues, Sasaki will have high-end fantasy appeal in 2025, especially if he lands in Hollywood.
