The Dodgers will be the Japanese all stars soon. They all want to play there.
I think Senga was an anomaly.

I think Senga was an anomaly.
Imanaga went to the Cubs. I don't think the Dodgers are inevitable for all these guys. I do think the west coast teams have advantages.
I actually think Sasaki will prioritize development. But I also think his connection with Darvish will be really hard to overcome. Stearns showing up to a game in September shows he won't give up quickly but we should not be assuming that it's an even-odds thing

We would have to back out of unofficial agreement we have with SS Elian Pena for 5 mill in order to sign him with the International pool money — or trade for more. Obviously, you do that in a heartbeat.
I believe the Angels had the same agreement with Julio Rodriguez and left that to sign Shohei. The Mariners swept in and signed Julio instantly.
Sasaki will be a big time pitcher. I don’t think he goes to the Dodgers like most assume.
We need to sign Pena regardless. He'd be our biggest prospect in the Dominican ever. It's amazing how under the radar that's become.
Trade for more prospect money, and use Cohen's connections for more advertising opportunities. Money shouldn't factor in.
I do think going top-heavy is the way to win the International game. Peña would be a terrific add compared to our usual 2-3 prospects in the top 50-60.
If given a choice, I’d take Sasaki because of our timeline. I don’t think landing both is realistic.
I would love for you guys to be right, and not saying Cohen won’t try to get any of them.
I however think the Japanese mega stars will prioritize team on west coast, and that team will be the Dodgers, more often than not.
We can trade for 60% of what we got. So we can split it 5 mill and 5 mill. I don't think Sasaki this will be a decision that an extra mill or two will make a fundamental difference. I think its realistic.
DK you might have to wait awhile as Soto has to pay up for Baty’s #22.
This is hilarious and TRUE. The things you learn.
Juan Soto may have to clear expensive CBA hurdle to wear Brett Baty’s No. 22 as a Met
If Juan Soto wants to wear his No. 22 with the Mets, it could become a very costly ask.

The Soto pre-order on fanatics will automatically update the number on the jersey, so you won't have to worry about doing anything
We could just start Baty in AAA or trade him.DK you might have to wait awhile as Soto has to pay up for Baty’s #22.

That amount in pool money is similar to the value of a first round pick, so I don't know how easy it will be to trade for.
His agent also said, “Given the gap in the bonus pool amounts is so negligible, my advice to him is don’t make a decision based on that," Wolfe said, “because the long-term arc of your career is where you’re going to earn your money."
NYC sponsorship deals will be through the roof with him.
Yankees fans are posting clips of Fried striking out Soto lol, Juan really broke their brains
And he's out of the division! Great news.
