Roki Sasaki, the supremely gifted 23-year-old pitcher posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines last month, is signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Sasaki announced his decision on Instagram on Friday.
“I have signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers,” he wrote in the post, which was accompanied by a photo of a Dodgers hat. “It was a very difficult decision. I will do my best to make sure that when I look back after my baseball career is over, I will think it was the right decision.”
