The Los Angeles Dodgers met with Roki Sasaki last month, but the second round of additional meetings will be closer to when the 23-year-old pitcher signs. Sasaki is expected to sign during the next international signing period which opens Jan. 15.
There is no specific timeline of when Sasaki’s signing will unfold, but his agent, Joel Wolfe, provided the latest update on his client.
“The timeline for Round 2 is going to lead right up until he signs,” Wolfe said, via Will Sammon of The Athletic. “We’re still talking and having Zoom calls. So I don’t have a precise timeline for that, like we did for the meetings.
