Roki Sasaki to the Dodgers…Was it a foregone conclusion? MLB’s pre-posting investigation adds another layer to this saga. Did the limited financial incentive for the Marines truly create a breeding ground for speculation, or was Sasaki’s destination always Los Angeles? The Dodgers maneuvering for bonus pool money, the Padres all-in approach, and the Blue Jays aggressive, yet ultimately fruitless pursuit – what does this say about the current posting system? Is it fair? Does it need an overhaul? The whispers of handshake deals and backroom agreements…how much weight do they hold? Were other teams truly in the running, or was this a meticulously crafted narrative? And what about the Blue Jays’ acquisition of Myles Straw? A shrewd move independent of Sasaki, or a desperate gamble that backfired? Let’s discuss.
