The Toronto Blue Jays hosted Roki Sasaki last week for a meeting. Sasaki, 23, can sign with a major-league club starting Wednesday, when the international signing period opens.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, New York Mets and Chicago Cubs are among the teams believed to be pursuing Sasaki.
As it stands, the Jays’ rotation is projected to include Kevin Gausman, José Berríos, Bowden Francis, Chris Bassitt and Yariel Rodríguez.
