Roki Sasaki’s agent, Joel Wolfe, fielded questions from reporters on Day 2 of the Winter Meetings Tuesday in Dallas, Texas.
Wolfe answered everything he could regarding his superstar amateur free agent, who was officially posted by his Japanese team, the Chiba Lotte Marines, on Tuesday morning.
Among the myriad topics discussed were Sasaki’s preferences, interests, and when he’ll sign. While Wolfe mentioned Sasaki is technically eligible to sign as soon as Tuesday, he doesn’t expect that to be the case. By waiting until at least Jan. 15 to sign, Sasaki would be able to secure a larger sum of money from teams’ fully-stocked international bonus pools.
