Roki Sasaki is officially coming to MLB.
The Chiba Lotte Marines announced Saturday in Japan that they will post the flame-throwing phenom for a move to the U.S., where he now looms as one of the biggest names of the offseason. It's unclear when the process will officially begin, but MLB teams will have 45 days to woo Sasaki after he's posted.
