The Ru014dki Sasaki sweepstakes appear to be centralized in Southern California.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, "While the Los Angeles Dodgers have been the heavy favorites to sign Sasaki for the past year, with some teams convinced he already made up his mind, the San Diego Padres have emerged as the new choice among executives."
The Padres have had a very quiet offseason, which hasn't been the norm in the AJ Preller era, so it wouldn't be a surprise if a splash was coming.
Sasaki would fit that bill.
