The #Mets seem unlikely to sign international free-agent RHP Roki Sasaki, per @BenBadler
Now the Blue Jays remain in the running's to land the superstar pitcher even though most believe that he will end up joining Shohei Ohtani with the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
Blue Jays fans are already extremely excited in the possibility of landing Sasaki as it is starting to look like they have a real chance.
The good part of all of this is that Sasaki have mentioned that he would like to start his MLB career in a smaller organization which gives the Blue Jays a chance against the Dodgers who are one of the biggest franchises in the MLB.
Hopefully Ross Atkins can figure out a way to get a deal done as it would completely turn the Blue Jays off-season around.
