Roki Sasaki has announced he will sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers. While the Dodgers were long considered the favorites, the Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres were the other finalists.
Sasaki called this \"a very difficult decision, but I will do my best to make it the right decision when I look back after my baseball career.\"
After winning the World Series last season, the Dodgers will add Sasaki and Blake Snell to their rotation, as well as a now healthy enough to pitch Shohei Ohtani.
In four seasons with the Chiba Lotte Marines, Sasaki posted a 2.02 ERA, a 0.88 WHIP and 524 strikeouts against 91 walks in 414⅔ innings.
