The Los Angeles Dodgers successfully signed international pitching sensation Roki Sasaki, edging out the Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres in the process. The Dodgers emphasized their ability to help Sasaki improve his fastball velocity as a selling point. A notable subplot emerged involving jersey numbers, as Sasaki desired No. 11, which was worn by Miguel Rojas. Rojas shared his surprise at being approached for a number change, recounting his stressful initial reaction to the request from Dodgers president Andrew Friedman before eventually accommodating the new signing.
It was a really weird text message saying he wanted to run something by me. When I received that message, I almost pooped my pants.
It never happened to me before, to change numbers or try to give the number to someone that is older than you.
When Andrew finally called me and said he wanted to give me a call to explain the situation of having the opportunity to sign Roki Sasaki.
With all of that in mind, Andrew finally called me and said he wanted to give me a call to explain the situation of having the opportunity to sign Roki Sasaki, but one of the things he wanted to have is No. 11.
