The Los Angeles Dodgers, fresh from winning their second World Series in five years, are seen as the favorites to sign Japanese pitching sensation Roki Sasaki, should he be posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines, despite age-related earnings restrictions. The Dodgers are actively bolstering their roster for the upcoming MLB season, exploring options like a trade for White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet and showing interest in free-agent ace Blake Snell. Additionally, former Dodgers player Yasiel Puig is reportedly set to join an Asian team, highlighting the Dodgers' influence in international baseball markets. This strategy underscores their commitment to maintaining a dominant pitching rotation alongside stars like Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
