The mystery surrounding Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki’s free agency is starting to become clearer after teams expressed interest in the young, up-and-coming ace’s talents. As the overseas contract period is quickly approaching, we will soon find out which team Sasaki will join.
Jordan Shusterman joins ESPN guest host Kiley McDaniel to look at the latest news surrounding Sasaki, including which teams are pitching, why some teams don’t care, and why the San Diego Padres need him. The pitcher in the rotation is more talented than anyone else.
Also on this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jordan joins MassLive’s Boston Red Sox beat writer Chris Cotillo to take a look at what the Red Sox have done so far this offseason and what their starting rotation might look like. It is expected that we will be able to watch and reminisce about the 2020 season as we approach Opening Day. Later, Jordan and Kiley talk about the recent moves of the Washington Nationals and Pittsburgh Pirates, the Chicago Cubs trading for Vidal Bruján and the Tampa Bay Rays hoping to strike gold by signing Eloy Jiménez.
