Roki Sasaki rumors: Mets, Yankees still in mix with decision roughly 2 weeks away
- The calendar has flipped to January, and Roki Sasaki is approximately two weeks away from deciding which team he will sign up for to complete his jump from Japan to the major leagues. The good news for the Mets and Yankees is that they are still in the mix.
Roki Sasaki, a highly-touted Japanese pitcher, is currently at the center of MLB speculation as his decision on where to play next is expected in about two weeks. Both the New York Mets and the New York Yankees are among the teams still in contention to sign him. Sasaki, who has been compared to Shohei Ohtani for his pitching prowess, has a unique situation due to his age and the current posting system rules, which might allow him to come to MLB without the usual posting fee if he waits until he turns 25. His potential move has been a topic of interest since he threw a perfect game in 2022, showcasing his exceptional talent. The Mets and Yankees, along with other teams, are closely monitoring his situation, with the possibility of him joining MLB either this year or in the future.
