Matt Sauer, a non-roster invitee with the Los Angeles Dodgers, was unexpectedly informed by manager Dave Roberts that he made the Tokyo Series roster following a challenging performance against the Seattle Mariners. Sauer, who joined the Dodgers' minor league system in December, expressed his excitement at this news, particularly as a lifelong Dodgers fan. His mother, who hasn't been back to Japan since childhood, is also set to join him in Tokyo, adding a personal touch to the trip. Sauer believes the team's development staff has positively impacted his career trajectory.
"One of the reasons I signed here was because of the staff and the development they could do with guys. I thought they could really just bring my career on the uprise."
"Then he grabbed me around the waist and broke the news. Then I had a big smile on my face. But I was also trying to be, like, pissed. I just had a terrible inning."
