Just when it appeared that the Boston Red Sox had been counted out of the Roki Sasaki signing race, they may still have life yet, according to a report.
The article from Newsweek discusses the ongoing speculation around Japanese pitching sensation Roki Sasaki and his potential signing with an MLB team, with a particular focus on the Boston Red Sox. Despite the Los Angeles Dodgers being favored to sign Sasaki due to their financial prowess and previous success with Japanese players, the Red Sox are not out of the race. The article highlights that the Red Sox have a history of successfully integrating Japanese talent, notably with players like Daisuke Matsuzaka and Masataka Yoshida. Furthermore, the Red Sox's current roster needs bolstering, especially in pitching, which could make Sasaki an attractive addition. The piece also mentions the complexities of signing international players, including the posting system and the financial implications, but emphasizes that the Red Sox's interest in Sasaki remains strong, suggesting they could still make a competitive offer.
