  1. Good call, Mark, kept your wallet in your pocket yesterday so you could empty it on Sasaki today, right?

  2. Does this mean he’s officially a 2024 free agent since this posting is before December 15th. Doesn’t this make his odds of being a dodger go from 80-90ish to 99%

  3. I don’t suspect we are at this point yet, but I think eventually a Japanese star is going to want to come to MLB and distinguish himself from the ones who play on the Dodgers. Otherwise they’ll be just another Japanese player on the Dodgers. But I think Sasaki will go to the Dodgers. Yamamoto and Ohtani are the biggest names but it’s still only 2. 

  4. If he ends up in the NL (he will) the talent gap between the two leagues will be the worst that I can remember. Maybe mid 00s AL over NL?

  5. I read “clubs” as “Cubs” and for a second couldn’t believe he wasn’t a Dodger.

  6. If the Dodgers get him I vote we refer to the evil of Ohtani, Yamamoto and Sasaki as Ghidorah

  7. Soto received a $10M bonus to recruit Sasaki. It turns out they’ve been playing COD and Minecraft together for years.

  8. Is there anything stopping a team promising to extend him for ‘x’ amount if he chooses them if they can’t quite match the other teams in bonus pool money?

  9. If he *is* going to sign with the Dodgers, he better do it by end-of-day today, cuz I don’t want to waste one more minute speculating.
