The posting deadline for Rocky Sasaki (24, Chiba Lotte Marines) is 10 days away. Now, one or two teams are expected to be eliminated.

MLB.com reported on the 14th (Korea time) that Sasaki will not sign with the New York Yankees, New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, or Texas Rangers. In the case of San Francisco, general manager Jack Minasian personally confirmed to reporters.

Then, the remaining teams are the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Diego Padres, the Chicago Cubs, and the Toronto Blue Jays. Originally, they reportedly met seven teams, but they seem to have met Toronto for the eighth time. Eventually, the U.S. media is following the expectations of a two-way race between the Dodgers and the San Diego Padres.

Three of the four teams except Toronto have Japanese players. The Dodgers have Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, San Diego has Sasaki's spiritual leader Darvish Yu, and the Cubs have Seiya Suzuki and Shota Imanaga.
The U.S. media are also divided on how the presence of Japanese players will affect the recruitment of Sasaki. There are opinions that unconditionally they get a plus score, and there are opinions that it is not necessarily the case. Media outlets that analyze that the possibility of going to the Dodgers is low believe that playing with Ohtani and Yamamoto may have difficulty revealing their product value.

In the case of the Dodgers, general manager Brandon Gomes drew attention by saying that he is looking forward to meeting Sasaki for the second time. Sasaki met eight teams exactly once, returned to Japan, and recently came back to the U.S. for a final decision.

The U.S.-Japan posting system is 45 days, unlike the Korea-U.S. posting system. One month has passed, and 10 days are left. It's time for Sasaki to make up her mind and make a final arrangement. Four of the eight teams have fallen, and three of the other four teams have come to drop. There are two days left until January 16th, when the bonus pool for international contracts in 2025 will be newly set. In other words, a team to sign can be decided soon.

메이저놀이터 The team that takes Sasaki will have the biggest sale of low cost and high efficiency this offseason. However, it is also clear that Sasaki has not met the regular innings even once in Japan. Durability is the biggest weakness. In the case of the Dodgers, if Sasaki is taken, another starting pitcher with health issues will be added. Attention is also focusing on how the team that takes Sasaki will manage it.
