Monday was a wild day in the offseason of Roki Sasaki.
Five teams have been told that they are no longer in the running for the 23-year-old: The San Francisco Giants, New York Mets and Yankees, Chicago Cubs, and Texas Rangers.
The finalists for Japanese star right-hander Roki Sasaki are the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays, sources tell ESPN. Sasaki will decide on his team by the closing of his posting window Jan. 23.
