Blue Jays interest in signing Roki Sasaki if he becomes a free agent

Sasaki is a Japanese pitcher that has been dominating the NPB at the young age of 23 years old and has drawn a lot of comparisons to Shohei Ohtani who is arguably the best player in the majors right now.

This would be an incredible move for the Blue Jays but the Blue Jays along with the rest of the MLB will have to see if Sasaki ends up getting permission from the NPB to enter the MLB free agency since he is still under contract.

More likely, though still a longshot, is Sasaki, a player the Blue Jays have liked for a while. Multiple senior club executives including Atkins have scouted Sasaki in person over the years, but when asked about the right-hander, the GM sidestepped the question. -Nicholson-Smith.

If Sasaki gets permission to enter free agency, the Blue Jays will surely not be the only team going after him as he has shown that he can definitely be a top tier MLB pitcher.
