The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers appear to be the final two teams in the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes.
While the San Diego Padres were also a reported finalist for Sasaki, their recent pivot to other international signings appears to signal they’re out of the Sasaki sweepstakes.
The Blue Jays are doing the exact opposite of the Padres, acquiring more money for their international bonus pool. On Friday, the Blue Jays acquired another $2 million in international bonus pool money to take on a bad contract from the Cleveland Guardians.
