Roki Sasaki's 2nd meeting chances with Dodgers unclear, per GM Brandon Gomes

Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki is looking to make the jump to Major League Baseball, with teams across MLB lining up to get a chance to meet the 23-year-old. The Los Angeles Dodgers have plenty of Japanese talent on their roster already, but they are looking to add more.

Roki Sasaki was posted by his team in Japan, Chiba Lotte Marines, and can sign with an MLB team as an international amateur free agent, with a budget limited to the international bonus pool. The Dodgers have already been given a chance to meet with Sasaki and his representatives, but they are hoping for another opportunity.

GM Brandon Gomes didn't provide a ton of clarity, but suggested that they were pushing for another meeting.

"I'm not able to say at this time," Brandon Gomes responded when asked about another meeting with Sasaki, before adding, "I hope so." (8:00-minute mark)

The Los Angeles Dodgers are not the only team hoping for another meeting, but agent Joel Wolfe has hinted that Sasaki's mind is nearly made up.

Roki Sasaki looking to become an MLB legend

Roki Sasaki could have stayed in Japan for a few more years, and then signed with an MLB team as an international free agent. That is the route that Shohei Ohtani and Shota Imanaga took, and it landed them massive MLB contracts.

Joel Wolfe is the agent who represents Roki Sasaki, and he has been doing much of the speaking over the last few weeks. He recently spoke with reporter Bob Nightengale and gave his thoughts on his client.

"Roki Sasaki wants to be one of the greatest, ever," said Wolfe on Sasaki. "He's not coming here just to get rich."

If Roki Sasaki does join the Los Angeles Dodgers, he will be joining the best team in baseball. Sasaki will be able to earn a big contract after his initial deal ends if he lives up to the hype surrounding him.
