Finalists For Roki Sasaki Are Dodgers, Padres, and Blue Jays; Sasaki will Decide Team Soon

To be honest, it's actually impressive that we're in the bronze position to land Roki.  Most free agents currently view the Jays as about the 28th best option in baseball.

Any reports of him talking to Yusei Kikuchi about his experience with the Jays?

I heard he's been talking to Shun Yamaguchi.

I would imagine Kooch would be a big reason if he were to sign here

That or they hired Kawasaki to be his tour guide when he visited Toronto and Kawa got him drunk and we have compromising photographs.

Gut feel is he goes to the Padres. But impressive that they’re in the top 3 tbh

No participation medals...Ross is going to be flexing in the mirror saying f*** you Ken Rosenthal for a week after we sign him.

Start keeping tabs on large party sushi restaurant reservations.

Padres have told other international prospects with verbal agreements - If they can find another deal, do so.

Cocky bastards

The interesting bit is the Rangers had no deals lined up with international free agents, as they were all in on Roki.  I guess they will call on the guys the Roki winner had lined up.

I'm excited to be a pawn in other team's moves again!

What's the point in having 3 finalists? Why not just decide who he's signing with? 

The show.... The business

Roki said he wanted to play in a team without Asian players
