Anderson wrote Monday. &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>His earning potential will be greatly suppressed by his classification as an amateur free agent (due to his age and lack of service time).&#8221; Sasaki has logged a 64-29 record with a 2.10 ERA, 505-to-88 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a 0.89 WHIP throughout his four-year career with the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan&#8217;s most prestigious league, Nippon Professional Baseball. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>MLB teams will be able to offer him only as much as they have left in their international amateur signing bonus pools,&#8221; Anderson continued.<\/p>\n<p><em> &#8220;Only two teams, the Dodgers and the Orioles, have more than $2 million in their 2024 coffers, according to the Associated Press.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Considering the Orioles have enough capital to compete with the Dodgers over Sasaki, perhaps they can find a way to convince him to join Baltimore instead of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore has one of the most elite player development systems, which could greatly benefit Sasaki as he adjusts to Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n<p>It seems doubtful Sasaki would give up the opportunity to join Japanese-born sensations Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto with the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Orioles have the funds to land him, so Baltimore can&#8217;t yet be ruled out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orioles Surprisingly Seen As Top Landing Spot For Highly Coveted International Star The Baltimore Orioles have a vast selection of starting pitchers, but they could look to&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7353,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
