Japanese Star Roki Sasaki, 23, to Be Posted; Dodgers Favored Despite $7 Million Limit
Nov 9, 2024, 06:27 AM
Japanese baseball sensation Roki Sasaki, a 23-year-old right-handed pitcher with a career 2.10 ERA in Japan, will be posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines this offseason, making him available to Major League Baseball (MLB) teams for the 2025 season. The Marines confirmed they have approved Sasaki's request to be posted via the posting system. Sasaki has expressed his desire to "be the best player in the world," indicating his ambition to compete at the highest level. Despite international signing rules limiting his potential contract to around $7 million due to his age, Sasaki is forgoing the opportunity to wait two years and potentially secure a deal worth hundreds of millions. The Los Angeles Dodgers are considered early heavy favorites to sign him, with many MLB teams expected to show strong interest. The Athletic has ranked Sasaki as the third-best free agent this offseason, behind Juan Soto and Corbin Burnes.
