Part 5/9:
Sasaki, who boasts an impressive skill set and has already made a name for himself with a fiercely competitive stance, is projected to command a signing bonus within the $7 to $10 million range due to the constraints sitting within MLB’s international bonus pool rules. Observers are eagerly anticipating his decision, which is expected between January 15th and January 23rd.
If the Mets can secure Sasaki, it could be a monumental addition to their rotation, complementing the existing pitching talent that the team has been working to develop.
