Devastating news.

No doubt, Roki Sasaki will steal the show as much as Shohei Ohtani did this last season.
Incidentally, Dave Roberts, Manager of LA Dodgers, was conferred an honorary citizenship by Naha City, Okinawa, Japan, because he was born there between a former U/S. Marine and a local woman.
Robert's mother hailed from Miyako Island, the same island where I was born, too. So, cheers to them all.

Actually, doubt. Perhaps he'll do well, and I hope he does, but I think Ohtani is a bit of a miracle. Most Japanese players have been mediocre to decent. I don't think we'll see another Ohtani. If I'm wrong, great, but please don't be shocked if he does not steal the show.

Roki please, please, please don't sign with the Dodgers. Want to see you pitch against Ohtani and Yamamoto. Now that would be fun to watch.

He'll sign with San Diego.
