Major League Baseball (MLB) conducted an investigation regarding the signing of Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki by the Los Angeles Dodgers. This inquiry was prompted by rumors of a pre-arranged agreement between Sasaki and the Dodgers prior to his official posting. Despite speculation from various analysts suggesting that the Dodgers had a handshake deal with Sasaki, MLB found no evidence supporting these claims. The league confirmed that it had ensured the protocol agreement was followed before authorizing Sasaki's posting. Additionally, reports indicate that the investigation also included the Chiba Lotte Marines, Sasaki's former team.
