Sasaki Sweepstakes: Padres Out, Dodgers and Blue Jays Remain in Contention 

Roki Sasaki’s free agency decision is imminent, with the Padres reportedly out of the running. This leaves the Dodgers and Blue Jays as the frontrunners. Is this a smart move by the Padres, focusing on international amateur talent like Carlos Alvarez instead? Or did they miss out on a generational talent? Where do you see Sasaki having the biggest impact, LA or Toronto? Could his minor league contract status be a hidden advantage for the team that signs him? His WBC performance showcased incredible velocity, but how will that translate to the MLB? Is he worth the hype? Let the debate begin. Bold prediction: Sasaki becomes a Rookie of the Year candidate in 2026. What say you?
