Roki Sasaki, a promising 23-year-old pitcher for the Chiba Lotte Marines, is set to enter Major League Baseball in 2025. As he prepares for the international signing period starting January 15, speculation about his potential teams is heating up.

Despite expectations linking him to the Los Angeles Dodgers due to the success of fellow Japanese players, MLB insider Jim Bowden suggests there's an 85% chance he won't sign with them. Instead, he predicts Sasaki may join the Boston Red Sox or possibly the Atlanta Braves, who excel in developing pitchers.

Sasaki boasts impressive stats from his NPB career, including a 2.10 ERA and a record for strikeouts in a single game. With the Braves potentially needing a starter, they could be a strong contender for his signature.
