He's not going to relocate to a smoldering disaster area, he already had to survive the loss of his childhood home and his family relocating after the 2011 Japan tsunamis...
@@kuroneko7022 well anyone who would rather compete with him. There are some Alpha competitors out there who would rather test themselves than just get pile on with 10 other stars. I think he is going to LA though. Darvish is older and won’t be around after 3 more years.
I don’t see him go anywhere besides padres or dodgers. I bet dodgers not only are they japans team but they are by far the best team in baseball to win the World Series and they have some of the best pitching coaching. The padres also have yu darvish who is his mentor but I still don’t think he wouldn’t want to be on the dodgers who are a great position.
He signs for a rookie contract which lasts 6 years. 3 years at minimum and 3 years of arbitration. Don’t see why teams/owners would want to sign him to a long term extension until after the first 3 years since they are only paying him minimum $.
If Bregman is looking at 2B for the Red Sox, that opens up his market dramatically. There are plenty of teams who would pay him to be a 2B, not just Boston.
There is Zero chance he is going Toronto. Japanese players of value do not leave Japan to a play indoors in Canada for 6 years. The want to play in the California sun. Ross Atkins is as delusional as this guy. He probably paid his agent to bring him to the meeting. That's how desperate Atkins is to be relevant and keep his job.
I don’t know why a Japanese player the caliber of Sasaki would want to go to a team like the Padres who’ve never win anything! He’d better learn from Ohtani who went to those slugs in Chavez Ravine when he first came to MLB. That man wasted six years of his life with that swamp team and never even made the playoffs in spite of his personal excellence. No Roki, go to a team that just won the WS, has the best player in the world on its roster, has Yamamoto and a half Japanese manager. Let the Padres and others take players from the lowly KBO.😂
I think he should go anywhere but Dodgers or Padres. That would really make their fanbase sad, probably Padres more since they have all their eggs in this basket and can't do much with their in fighting
Man I hope Sasaki goes to the Padres. It would make the rivalry between them and LA even more entertaining! I can’t believe Arizona didn’t try to get him..I really hope Yu Darvish can convince him to go to San Diego!
Big mistake by Roki. His legacy is out of the window... The NYY is best suit for Sasaki; he could have proved his talent in NY. But he wants to have japanese's camaraderie with Othani and Yamamoto...
Many Japanese professional ball players and retired players consider Roki Sasaki is over evaluated in MLB. Last WBC might be his peak as a player. Still worth trying to get him because he is so cheap.
Retired players got a lot of clicks by criticizing Roki Sasaki last year, so they have little incentive to say anything nice. He gets high praises from current players such as Shosei Togo who called him the best pitcher in the NPB. It depends on whom one talks to, and Sasaki got attacked especially last year when his MLB aspirations were revealed.
He is 23... so he is off to a good start. He also slowed his velocity ans spin last year so he won't blow goes arm out abs still pitched well. Doesn't matter if over rated or under rated since he is a bargain regardless.
@@jykim3604 The offensive players in Japan are not very good at the present so anything from current offensive players is suspect. Masataka Yoshida was a Japanese offensive star. He cant get off the bench in Boston. Most pitchers seem to be great to most Japanese offensive players.
This is the same dude that said Shohei was flying to Toronto
😂😂
Its all fake news even sports
He flew over Toronto 😂
Thought that was the guy with white hair and goatee
This is the ass hole that reported that 🤣
and now he's freaking out the Canucks again 🤣
Roki Sasaki, SIGN with the Dodgers ! ! !
That’s where he belongs. Ohtani, Yamamoto, Dave Roberts and Little Tokyo will welcome him with open arms!😂😂
Going to the Dodgers. All this created intrigue is to prevent any tampering accusations.
He's not going to relocate to a smoldering disaster area, he already had to survive the loss of his childhood home and his family relocating after the 2011 Japan tsunamis...
That’s not ALL of LA. Plus, he wants to play with Ohtani - who wouldn’t.

Sasaki is a spy for the Dodgers.
Why the background music?
MLB network
We all know he’s going o the Dodgers.
He’s definitely pitching somewhere in California.
Absolutely 💯 no east coast team has a chance
Maybe he was leaning towards the Dodgers before he saw the city turn into a raging dumpster fire of a disaster area...
Was there ever a doubt?
@@Nick-NY You nailed it!
Bro really doing way too much just to go to the Dodgers
I find it funny the jays are in the mix when no other free agents want to go to the jays
LOL don't do this to Blue Jays fans again 😂 🤣
As a jays fan I am already prepared for the worst
Indeed they are doing it to the fans again 😂
@FocalplayzTVSasaki is on the plane to Toronto as we speak! 😂
@ stop I have PTSD from that 😭😭😭
Don't worry you signed a guy with shoulder issues that two teams passed on. You have got one heartbreak on the horizon.
No way he comes to New York. 😔
confirmed sorry
Was Otani a bargain? Yes
Was Soto overpriced? Yes
Who's next?
Morosi...Toronto... Here we go again.
Jon "it's imminent" Morosi
I don’t see him go anywhere besides padres or dodgers.

Seattle would help his development the most
Future Colorado Rocky
Nah for sure a white Sox
Roki decided to sign with LA dodgers
He changed his mind when he saw the neighborhood he was thinking of moving to burn down.
Can the team that signs him offer him a long term extension in a year?
He signs for a rookie contract which lasts 6 years. 3 years at minimum and 3 years of arbitration. Don’t see why teams/owners would want to sign him to a long term extension until after the first 3 years since they are only paying him minimum $.
yes
Roku Sasaki is on his way to Toronto!😮
If Bregman is looking at 2B for the Red Sox, that opens up his market dramatically. There are plenty of teams who would pay him to be a 2B, not just Boston.
He was open to the idea weeks ago, he already said it. There still arent many teams that want to pay his price.

You can’t be trusted anymore buddy.
Not really in the know....
Sort of an embarrassment with his always the jays.
These people predicted the Padres to win the WS the last 3 years!
if he signs with a team for 6 years, it'd be nice to have ohtani co-sign for a mansion.
He would be crazy coming to the Jays. The management here is completely useless.
He met with the Yankees twice.
Yamamoto did too 💔
@@joewell2709they were already informed that he isn’t going there 😮
He already turned down both NY teams.
The Yankees have the best pitching guru in the business.
Yes he has done wonders on Stroman.
Everybody knows he’s going to the Dodgers
I don’t know why a Japanese player the caliber of Sasaki would want to go to a team like the Padres who’ve never win anything!
He’d better learn from Ohtani who went to those slugs in Chavez Ravine when he first came to MLB.

No Roki, go to a team that just won the WS, has the best player in the world on its roster, has Yamamoto and a half Japanese manager. Let the Padres and others take players from the lowly KBO.😂
Dodgers already Paid Sasaki to be a dodger.
West Coast Roki
Why is Morosi weaing lipstick?
😂😢😮😅
Cubs roki sasaki and Suzuki good together not LA
Go Padres!!!
Oakland Padres 🤣
Who
Developing pitchers, that would be the braves
He is going to the New York Yankees point blank!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Already turned them and the Mets down.
Anywhere but the Dodgers.
I think he should go anywhere but Dodgers or Padres. That would really make their fanbase sad, probably Padres more since they have all their eggs in this basket and can't do much with their in fighting
Only thing dodgers develop is blown elbows
Roki... come to toronto....no earthquakes or brush fires 😎
Once again Morosi is proven wrong.
I think he sign s with the Yankees because of mashihero Tanaka he grew up a Yankees fan because of Tanaka.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He already turned down booth NY teams.

Wrong! The Yankees aren't what they used to be and are no longer a destination franchise, lol.
