The Roki Sasaki sweepstakes will likely come down to the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers this offseason.
The Roki Sasaki sweepstakes is likely to come down to one of the biggest baseball rivalries in the world: the Los Angeles Dodgers versus the San Diego Padres.The 23-year-old ace has a fastball in the triple digits and multiple swing-and-miss offspeed pitches. His splitter is especially devastating, generating an elite whiff rate at about 90 miles per hour.
'Every team in MLB should make an attempt to sign Sasaki, but he figures to sign with one that can promise success and endorsement opportunities. As reported by Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com, the expectation is that he'll sign with either the Dodgers or Padres.'Both the Padres and the Dodgers already have Japanese connections that could help Sasaki pick their franchise. San Diego has Yu Darvish, who's played with Sasaki before.
