Japanese ace Roki Sasaki isn't the only pitcher the Los Angeles Dodgers have been connected to in free agency.
The Dodgers are also "looking into" free agent pitchers including Blake Snell, Corbin Burnes and Max Fried, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
"Word is that assuming they land Sasaki, they'll try for one more big pitcher," Heyman wrote.
The Dodgers are already returning two other Japanese stars to the rotation in Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani is expected to pitch for the first time since 2023 next season, although his November shoulder surgery could delay his return to the mound, per Ronald Blum of the Associated Press.
