The free agent class of 2024 got a major shakeup last week when it was announced 23-year-old right-hander Roki Sasaki would be posted and eligible to sign with an MLB team this off-season.Because of his age, Sasaki won't be eligible to sign for anything more than the maximum bonus allowed under MLB's international free agent signing rules, which apply to players 25 and under.
This had led many to label the Los Angeles Dodgers as the heavy favourites to land Saskai given their success, need for pitching and presence of Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but Bowden believes this might not be the case. MLB's international signing period begins with each team's bonus pool being replenished then, meaning Sasaki will not sign with a team until after that date.
The 31-year-old appeared in 111 games for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2024, slashing .278/.311/.375 with three homers and 28 RBI.
