The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres are currently engaged in quite a competitive free agency battle for international ace Roki Sasaki.
Japanese free agent Roki Sasaki is one of the most intriguing free agents on the market. Unlike the other top free agents, Sasaki isn't eligible to sign a nine-figure deal.Sasaki's free agency decision will come down to which team he feels he fits with the best rather than which team is able to cough up the most money.Still, two of the top teams in the Sasaki sweepstakes are National League West rivals: the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres.
A West Coast team like the Dodgers makes sense, given their marketability and relationship with Japanese players recently,' Brakebill wrote. 'Sasaki may not be the face of the franchise if he signs with L.A., but he will have a fantastic start to his career. The Dodgers are built to win for many years.'Predicting where Sasaki lands is quite difficult. Each team is on nearly even ground financially.
