Dodgers are set to become Japan's "Foreign Legion" in MLB. Imagine adding a pitcher who many speculate may actually be THE best pitcher in baseball for league minimum salary?? Because he's going to make minimum wherever he signs then of course he'll go to the Dodgers - who get him for next to nothing. Without the ability to make him a big contract offer no other team has a realistic chance of enticing him - this gives the Dodgers a huge advantage over all other teams in signing under 25 Japanese players. Maybe MLB has to rethink what constitutes a "rookie" when it comes to veteran players coming from the NPB?

[@Kevinjimtheone]

Line up some of the thousands of Japanese sponsors Ohtani has for Roki, and sign him. Next year’s Dodgers’ pitching lineup could be as monstrous as their batting lineup.

Nobody in the MLB has an answer to this mans Ligma pitch.

He’s a once in a generation talent. Better than Yamamoto and Ohtani as a pitcher 🔥

[@Sedona_FD3S]

@ my brother, you have not seen Ohtani’s “Sugma” pitch and Yamato’s “Bofa” pitch yet.
