Roki Sasaki Sweepstakes: Are the Blue Jays Smart or Desperate?
The Blue Jays just shuffled some cash and a struggling Myles Straw to boost their chances with Roki Sasaki. Is this a genius move to snag a potential ace, or a panicked gamble on an unproven international player? Toronto seems to be all-in on Sasaki, are they overestimating his MLB potential? Could another team, like the Dodgers or Padres, be a better fit for him? What kind of impact could Sasaki realistically have on the Blue Jays if they do win the bidding war? Is $8+ million in international bonus pool money too much to invest in a pitcher who hasn't thrown a single MLB pitch? Weigh in with your thoughts and predictions. This could be the biggest offseason storyline yet.
