If he did his decision like a Japanese game show, i'd be all for it. Although my expectation of a Japanese game show is likely from an old snl skit lol.

We have our final three.


Jeff Passan @JeffPassan
The finalists for Japanese star right-hander Roki Sasaki are the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays, sources tell ESPN. Sasaki will decide on his team by the closing of his posting window Jan. 23.

A bargaining chip for players to use against the teams they actually want to sign with.

“If you don’t up your offer I’ll go to the Blue Jays! I’ll do it! Don’t believe me? Well… look I’m going… see? I’m definitely seriously considering it possibly!”

I’m not sure what the Jays get out of it. Maybe they’re really hopeful that someday one of these players will actually sign there? Maybe they’re just happy to be on the podium? I don’t know.

Good question. Probably just money. They are one more sub .500 year from a full rebuild. He ain't going there.

Have a lot of relatives that live in Toronto. They complain about their taxes all the time (although right now I think the government isn't charging them GST/HST for another month or so).

And even though the health care is "free," they say it's pretty bad. Unless it's an emergency, you're usually waiting 4-6 months (sometimes up to a year) for something like a routine physical.

I think he's going to be a Padre. I'm surprised the Giants weren't further up on his pecking order.

I've had a hard time hitting anything Roki in 2024 NPB Chrome. I think I'm on 26 boxes or so ripped and I had 2 base refractors and no color to speak of.

Then this just happened...

Pulled this and kinda laughed "wrong Sasaki".



Then, same box:
