Good morning, Camden Chatters.
The Orioles’ already slim list of options for a starting pitching upgrade is about to get even slimmer. Star Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki, one of the most heavily sought after free agents this offseason, reportedly is deciding between his final three teams, and the Orioles aren’t one of them.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that Sasaki has whittled his options to the Dodgers, the Padres, and the Blue Jays. Sasaki’s camp contacted a slew of teams yesterday — including the Yankees, Cubs, Giants, and Rangers — to inform them they were no longer in the running.
