On the 5th (6th Japan time), the ESPN online edition featured a ranking of free agents this offseason and contract predictions, and Lotte pitcher Roki Sasaki (23), who is attracting attention for his possible transfer via the posting system, was ranked second overall. Since players under the age of 25 will be on minor league contracts, the signing bonus will not be high, at $5 million (approximately 750 million yen), and the most likely team to sign him is the Dodgers. He is ranked second only to outfielder Juan Soto (26), who became a free agent from the Yankees. “If he were to move to the majors this offseason, he would be one of the players expected to be most fiercely fought over,” the report said. Regarding signing bonuses, according to the rules of overseas amateur FA, for contracts signed after December 15th, the maximum is approximately $7 million (approximately 1.05 billion yen), while for contracts signed before that, the maximum is approximately $2.5 million (approximately 375 million yen), with the estimated contract amount being set at $5 million. Among other Japanese free agents, pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (33), who became a free agent from the Astros, is ranked 11th with an expected four-year contract worth a total of $76 million (approximately 11.4 billion yen).

Sasaki’s challenge to the majors has arrived━(゚∀゚)━!
3Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:46:20.43ID:eUDOD4cy0
He might even surpass Japan’s Virat Kohli.

If you violate your contract, you’re definitely a bum lol.
7Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:48:34.63ID:9GM/B9Y/0
Even with a minor contract you can get 700 million?
I guess everyone wants to try even if it’s just a minor contract.
8Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:49:37.88ID:AD47Gym70
A rating that doesn’t hit the limit…
If he still wants to go, let him go.
He probably has no attachment to either Japan or Korea anyway.
9Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:50:03.55ID:SycGvVMd0
This is still a big increase from his current annual salary of 80 million yen.
76Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:14:17.62ID:2EBPKdyb0

His annual salary is not 700 million yen.
10Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:50:12.01ID:KkLwGehc0
Is it really worth that much?
11Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:50:16.60ID:jvp9HfQ60
If he wants to play in the majors, I hope he takes on the challenge in a place where there aren’t any Japanese players. In the end, he just wants to hang out with the people he knows.
12Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:50:48.22ID:N/W3FjU60
Sasaki doesn’t have any charisma.
13Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:50:58.05ID:Y5KKbyvJ0
Why is Kikuchi so highly rated? He had rosin on the brim of his hat.

Because it’s my left arm.

It’s not absolute, but he’s a left-handed pitcher who rarely gets injured and is able to pitch a stable number of innings, so he’s highly rated as an easy pitcher to manage.

Reached the required whip left arm
Looking at this, it seems reasonable.
14Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:51:01.92ID:LiZahIRn0
Is that some kind of prediction?
15Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:51:08.30ID:VulqKD7N0
If he goes to the majors, he won’t be able to pitch in an energy-efficient manner, so he’ll probably end up getting injured quickly because of poor pitches.
16Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:52:08.01ID:taIqOgEd0
Roki Sasaki’s annual salary with Lotte this year is 80 million yen. I’m sure he’d like to go even with a minor league contract.
17Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:52:08.09ID:pZ9cogr10
Go Dodgers, Rouki.
18Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:52:26.51ID:mhyE/aXi0
The number of Dodgers haters will increase dramatically.
20Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:55:04.87ID:gLzFOEC80
Murakami, Okamoto, Rouki, Togo, and Iori should all go to the Dodgers. The Dodgers will become even more popular in Japan. This is the consensus of the Japanese people.
22Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:55:18.34ID:bY//0gKG0
In high school Sasaki said, “I don’t want to pitch in high school anymore, so I want to go pro” -> Well said, but it’s true
NPB Sasaki said, “I don’t want to pitch in Japan anymore, so I want to go to MLB” -> What the hell are you talking about, idiot
They both said the same thing to aim higher, so why are their opinions so different?
27Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:57:29.26ID:QC7KTNsI0
>>22
Because NPB is a paid job.
23Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:56:08.42ID:tQ5ngF7s0
Major league salaries have risen so much that the cap should at least be raised from $5 million to around $10 million.
24Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:56:11.07ID:9GM/B9Y/0
The Dodgers would probably be a good environment, but I want Japanese players to be spread out, so I don’t want them to play there.
25Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:56:33.00ID:Rs3wTCO+0
Pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (33) was ranked 11th, with a four-year contract expected to earn him a total of $76 million (approximately 11.4 billion yen).
Is that all you can get for a second-rate player? It’s a dream come true.
26Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:56:43.87ID:q/+i5t040
Lotte has the right of veto over the labor standards, so it’s a moot point, but Yusei’s 3 billion yen salary is a huge boost. I wonder if the Dodgers have that kind of money. (´・_・`)
28Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:58:20.65ID:cRf3Gt8k0
I’m glad I can finally go to the majors.
29Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:58:27.31ID:ulE+1hf20
I think Sasaki will do well.

Are they going to turn their backs on him and start pitching again in just 5 days?
It’s going to be full of Japanese haters.
30Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:59:06.17ID:7FIbNOzf0
We can’t allow this kind of selfishness. Professional baseball will become just a farm team.
31Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:59:07.26ID:iPUCCtVV0
Yusei is amazing. His capable wife apparently does everything from interpreting to everything else.
33Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 09:59:44.36ID:PUXNNhFn0
I don’t feel like rooting for the Dodgers anymore.
36Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:00:38.65ID:miLHDi/Z0
I want the left one, but not the right one.
37Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:01:01.92ID:PlH6rQ840
Kikuchi: 4 years, 11.4 billion yen. Is he really worth that much as a pitcher?

He’s had a decent season
Every team is short on starters right now, so I want him.
39Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:01:12.52ID:mD1Dy4/u0
Even for a player like Kikuchi who is not selected for the All-Japan team, it is a dream come true to be able to earn this much.
40Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:01:36.58ID:QBcWWPJt0
I bet the haters here will quickly become believers if Sasaki becomes successful in the majors, it’s funny.

I don’t think they’re haters, but rather baseball haters who are defending Sasaki.

Of course that would be great, but I can’t imagine it happening because they don’t have a great track record.
42Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:02:32.06ID:73Xa0kMp0
Would it be illegal to secretly sign a contract beyond the age limit?
Like, a 10-year contract for 100 million, 100 million, 4 billion…

They’re strict about that.

That being said, if you sign a two-year contract, you’ll usually get a high salary from the third year onwards, and Otani’s third year will be 4.2 billion.
43Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:02:42.25ID:N6wJfNVA0
I’d love to see Louki pitch for the Dodgers.
44Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:02:43.38ID:rQugtPFp0
It’s not because Kikuchi is a left-handed pitcher with a high strikeout rate and can be counted on to be the fourth batter in the rotation.
54Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:05:29.82ID:yK1isTBC0
>>44
If you can get 3 billion as the 4th pitcher in the rotation, everyone is going to aim for the majors.
50Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:04:43.11ID:kOwn4H5k0
Too many Dodgers fans isn’t much fun.
51Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:05:00.54ID:sAwt3lFj0
It’s a huge amount in NPB terms, but it’s probably mid-range in the majors.
53Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 6, 2024 (Wed) 10:05:25.28ID:9yk3JlCF0
Considering the money, posting would be better, but I guess my dream comes first.
