The Dodgers are a strong fit for Roki Sasaki because he could be signed at a lower price and benefits from connections with former NPB stars.
Bob Nightengale emphasized that having Ohtani and Yamamoto on the Dodgers could make Sasaki feel more comfortable when choosing a team in MLB.
Nightengale also highlighted that West Coast teams have an advantage due to proximity, making it easier for Sasaki to transition to MLB.
Even with injury concerns, Sasaki's talent is considered superior, with some comparing his potential favorably to Shohei Ohtani and others.
