MLB Teams Eye Japanese Pitching Phenom Roki Sasaki

Roki Sasaki, a highly talented Japanese pitcher, is generating buzz at MLB's general managers' meetings as teams prepare for the possibility of him becoming an international free agent. Despite his potential, Sasaki's move to MLB is uncertain due to NPB's rules requiring nine years of service for free agency, of which he has only four. If posted, Sasaki would only be eligible for a minor-league contract, limiting his earnings compared to waiting until age 25. The Los Angeles Dodgers are seen as favorites to sign him, but other teams like the Mets and Cubs are also interested.
