The Los Angeles Dodgers recently met with Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki, according to a report.
The Dodgers have long been considered one of the favorites to sign Sasaki, who has also met with five other clubs.
Sasaki, 23, is widely considered the best pitcher in the world not currently on a Major League roster.
In addition to the Dodgers, Sasaki has also met with the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants and Texas Rangers.
