The Los Angeles Dodgers have been hungry for excellence since Guggenheim Baseball Management assumed ownership more than a decade ago, but their appetite has become especially ravenous during the last two years.

The Dodgers bookended their offseason by signing 2-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell and Japanese ace Roki Sasaki, stacking their already star-studded rotation.

On Thursday it was reported that Roki Sasaki would be joining the rotation that includes Blake Snell, Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Tyler Glasnow.

The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series in 2024 and appear to be even better positioned in 2025, thanks to what has a chance to be a historically good pitching staff led by Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki.

The Japanese phenom will join countrymen Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in blue, but this addition isn’t about the Dodgers bludgeoning the rest of the sport with their financial might.

The 23-year-old Japanese phenom has a fastball that regularly reaches triple digits and wowed MLB scouts at the World Baseball Classic in 2023.

Japanese pitching phenom Roki Sasaki has signed a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sasaki announced the decision himself in an Instagram post on Friday. The two other finalists for Sasaki reportedly were the San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays.

Roki Sasaki was one of the biggest names this off-season. The post Dodgers News: Roki Sasaki’s Shocking Tommy John Surgery Revelation From 4 Years Ago Gives a Big Headache to LA appeared first on EssentiallySports.
