Roki Sasaki, a highly gifted pitcher, is poised to join MLB after being posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines, triggering an anticipated bidding war among teams.
Unlike last year's top free agent, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Sasaki's situation is more akin to Shohei Ohtani's arrival, offering teams a chance at promising talent.
Sasaki, who was highly sought after in high school, possesses immense talent, evidenced by his fastball exceeding triple digits and ranking third on The Athletic's free agent board.
Roki Sasaki will be treated as an international amateur, which means he will receive a capped salary, creating a unique but limited financial opportunity for MLB teams.
