Star Japanese pitcher Ru014dki Sasaki is reportedly expected to be posted at next week's Major League Baseball winter meetings.
According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, that will then open a 45-day window for MLB teams to sign him, and he can make a final decision once the international amateur signing period opens on Jan. 15.
The 23-year-old Sasaki was a two-time All-Star during his four seasons in Nippon Professional Baseball. He pitched a perfect game in 2022 and holds the NBP single-game record with 19 strikeouts.
