Roki Sasaki joined the group of available starting pitchers in MLB free agency when the Chiba Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) posted him in December.

Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report predicts that Los Angeles will ultimately be the ones to sign him. "This is a boring pick, given that the Dodgers have most often been Sasaki's favorite throughout this process. But that isn't even why they're also the sensible pick," Rymer wrote.
