Major League clubs are \"planning\" for Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki to be posted this offseason, according to a report.
Neither Sasaki, nor his club, the Chiba Lotte Marines of the Nippon Professional Baseball league, have confirmed the report.
Sasaki, 22, is largely considered the most talented pitcher in the world that has yet to throw a pitch in Major League Baseball. He came onto the scene in 2022 when he struck out 19 batters in a perfect game.
He has started eight times this year, amassing a 2.18 ERA.
