Flamethrowing Roki Sasaki Posted to MLB: Sign Him Now! 

Roki Sasaki hitting the MLB market via posting is HUGE. Forget the minor league contract technicality, this guy is a potential ACE. Are we looking at the next Ohtani-level bidding war? With his age and the bonus pool limitations, are smaller market teams actually in a BETTER position to land him? What kind of creative contract structuring could we see? Could a team gamble on a massive signing bonus knowing they have him cheap for several years?

This also throws a wrench into the offseason plans of teams chasing established free agent pitchers. Does Sasaki's availability make teams less likely to overpay for aging veterans? Which teams are the best fit for his skillset? I'm thinking a team with strong player development could really unlock his potential.

Finally, what does this mean for the future of international signings? Could this become a more common route for top Japanese talent? Is it fair to compare him to Ohtani? While the circumstances are similar, their skillsets are different. Let's discuss!
