| 2/02/25 | Padres' Yu Darvish still has Roki Sasaki's back despite Dodgers decision. Before Roki Sasaki, there was Yu Darvish, who knows a thing or two about having tremendous hype on his shoulders as a Japanese superstar entering the big leagues. The San Diego Padres pitcher, who is now 38 years old, could have been one of Sasaki's first MLB teammates, but the Friars, among other teams, lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the heated offseason sweepstakes with the young hurler at the center of it all. Despite the Padres coming up short in winning Sasaki's nod and seeing him go to National League West division rival, Darvish still wants to see Sasaki succeed in the big leagues.

| 1/20/25 | Paul Articulates – Reactions to recent developments. I have been a Mets fan since I was 8 years old. I have followed them through triumph and tragedy – they have always been “my team”. There are other MLB teams that I like to watch, and I usually root for them to win as long as it does not impact the Mets' season. One of those teams was the Dodgers. I mean “WAS”. I don't like the Dodgers anymore. They are the greedy “Steinbrenner Yankees” of the National League that are pulling all the best talent into Chavez Ravine like it was a massive black hole. I thought the Mets had a great shot at Roki Sasaki – their player development system and pitching lab technology promised him a great future. I thought the Mets had the inside track on Tanner Scott Source: http://macksmets.blogspot.com/2025/01/paul-articul... |

A couple of days ago, the Dodgers also inked coveted Japanese prospect Roki Sasaki. While the free agent market has been steady, the trade market has been pretty quiet so far. The trade of ace Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox to the Boston Red Sox is the biggest trade so far, but the rest of the deals pale in comparison.
