Multiple opposing teams view the Los Angeles Dodgers as the future destination for Japanese starting pitcher Rou0304ki Sasaki once he enters free agency, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
"The Dodgers have been the heavy favorites to land Sasaki for the past year, where teams are convinced it's almost a fait accompli," Nightengale wrote on Monday.
Los Angeles added two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani as a free agent following the 2023 season and signed coveted starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto to a $325 million contract. They both have ties to Sasaki, as all three players were on the same roster during Japan's victory in the 2023 World Baseball Classic.
