What’s next for the Cubs now that Roki Sasaki is going somewhere else?

As we learned late Monday, the Cubs will not be the MLB landing spot for NPB star Roki Sasaki. He has narrowed his choices to three teams: Dodgers, Padres and Blue Jays.
I think I’m not alone when I say I hope it’s either of the two teams besides the Dodgers. In fact, if he did choose the Jays, that would be somewhat refreshing, a club that doesn’t often get a big splash like this.
