A former MLB executive predicts that teams like the Yankees, Mets, and Blue Jays may urge the league to investigate the Los Angeles Dodgers’ signing of Roki Sasaki, a highly coveted Japanese pitcher. The concerns stem from potential violations of MLB’s international signing rules and perceived competitive disadvantages. Sasaki’s immense talent and the Dodgers’ success in acquiring him have raised questions about fairness and adherence to league regulations.
