Japanese Pitching Phenom Roki Sasaki Posted for MLB Teams

Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki has been posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines, opening a 45-day window for MLB teams to negotiate with him. As Sasaki is under 25, he must sign under the international bonus pool system, likely between January 15 and 23, 2024. While financial offers will be similar due to bonus pool limits, Sasaki's choice may depend on team success, cultural fit, or personal connections. His signing could disrupt existing verbal agreements with young international prospects, creating a ripple effect in MLB's international market.

MLB Teams Vie for Japanese Ace Roki Sasaki in Free Agency Frenzy

Roki Sasaki, a 23-year-old ace from Japan's Chiba Lotte Marines, is set to join MLB as an amateur free agent, sparking significant interest from teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite the Dodgers' strong position, thanks to their recent World Series win and connections with Japanese players like Shohei Ohtani, Sasaki's decision may not be financially driven due to posting regulations. This opens opportunities for smaller-market teams with strong development programs to compete for his signature, reminiscent of Ohtani's choice to join the Angels for non-financial reasons.

The Chiba Lotte Marines have announced their intention to post Japanese pitching star Roki Sasaki to Major League Baseball, allowing him to join an MLB team in 2025.
