Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ru014dki Sasaki received a basketball-related question from teams throughout his free agency, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Passan reported Thursday that some organizations asked Sasaki if he was interested in following the career path of Kevin Durant or Michael Jordan, wanting to figure out if he was attempting to "join a superteam or help build one."
Durant started his career as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, but the superstar forward left as a free agent to join a Golden State Warriors team that finished with a 73-9 record and made an NBA Finals appearance the year before signed with the team.
