[Jim Allen] The #Dodgers are not a lock to sign Roki Sasaki. He will go where he thinks it is in his best short-term and long-term interest to go. A source close to Sasaki said a small-market team with a solid development setup and plan could be the best destination.

1. You’re telling me there’s a chance? He basically described the Padres.

2. Don’t fall for this

3. This reminds me of the movie Air. They all knew jordan was signing with adidas, yet nike, the underdogs at the time, risked it all for jordan. Keep the faith 🙏

   Jordan was also an unproven player at the time.

4. Sounds like a team with a legitimate pitching lab with biometric research, top 2 pitching coach, and Japanese mentor would be an ideal destination. Does he have interest in having a mural of his likeness painted as well?

5. I heard them talking about this “small market” thing on Foul Territory

   They speculated about Seattle (idk if I buy that)

   Remember also Chicago has international bonus money (and we don’t if he posts early), and they also have Shota and Seiya

6. I’ve always been confused on why we’re a small market when we are the 8th biggest city in the country. But I’m so down to have him come here

7. *Ruben Niebla has entered the chat*

8. I got excited until I realized this is a tweet from a source posted on some random account.

9. And above all else… FTD

10. So you’re saying there’s a chance….lol

11. Preller already hinted. Let’s hope he can close the deal, now.

12. Rays!!
