honestly will wait until it’s official because Padres are the favorites as well bcs of Darvish they have been very close and he wants to play with him. Darvish is even in Japan recruiting him
The Los Angeles Dodgers of Japan
LeShohei needs to get to work.
Ohtani is already on a redemption tour. He’s got to get back to the World Series and get an RBI. Or a quality win pitching!
Not a hater. I’m an Ohtani Superfan that only became a Dodger fan this year, for obvious reasons.
This WS didn’t do anything for his legacy. He’s got to get another one.
We need Roki. LFG!!!!!!!
Holy hell. Already so much bitching from r/baseball
Idiots calling for a salary cap. Showing off how clueless they are because they have no idea Sasaki is about to be making peanuts
Every boob tweet makes sense but also kind of doesn’t
People (fans of other teams) will bitch about this, but are we supposed to feel bad that we have built the most successful organization in baseball over the past decade? If other teams want to attract players like Sasaki, who is in a position that money doesn’t really factor into his decision, than they should do what is required to compete. 20 or so teams in the league are just leeches whose owners feed off the revenue sharing fueled by the teams that actually try to win. Is the system our fault? San Diego is a great example of a mid-market team that actually spent money instead of siphoning it to enrich their owner and now they are competitive and very popular.
tl;dr : I do not feel guilty at all that the Dodgers get to benefit from their success. Don’t hate the player, hate the game (and your cheap ass owner).
He wants to jinx so bad
Classic… set up ridiculous, unfair expectations so you can tear them down when they don’t succeed.
Roki ‘s a project that needs time in Prior’s lab. I wouldn’t expect him to be better than the 5th best starter on the Dodgers if he signs.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
Passan: Roki Sasaki to the Dodgers isn’t real, Roki Sasaki to the Dodgers can’t hurt you
Nightingale: Roki Sasaki to the MLB, probably Dodgers
I’m not familiar with how international pool really works, but how long before he signs or can sign with a team?
