The Giants won't get a Sasaki until they are an It Franchise. They have work to do on three fronts to become one.

Roki Sasaki, the prized Japanese pitching prospect who has had scouts drooling over his potential since high school, has chosen the Los Angeles Dodgers as his major league team, he announced on Instagram on Friday.

Once Juan Soto was off the market, the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes immediately became the most enamoring story of the MLB offseason. The 23-year-old phenom will come to the MLB boasting an explosive fastball that tops 100 mph and a wipeout splitter that offsets his lightning heater.
