It’s been roughly 48 hours since I wrote something about Roki Sasaki, which means I may have to pump out at least two pieces about him today. Seriously though, it’ll be nice when there’s more Cubs stuff to cover. And hey, maybe they’ll be legit suitors for the Japanese phenom, whose jump to MLB is taking place two years too early for him to cash in on a monster deal right out of the gate.
He may not even be concerned with the signing bonus, which can only be around $12 million at the very most if a team trades for the maximum allowable increase in its international amateur pool and opts to give it all to one player.
