Not the first time someone used the KD analogy in joining the Warriors. There’s a big difference… Sasaki isn’t the best player from Yankees joining the Dodgers. He’s going to be rookie joining a team.
I think Paul said it best Padres are in line to win 2025, but what about after 2025? Preller dismantled the farm system during the trade deadline and championship window is getting smaller and smaller. I hope he picks SD but idk way to many questions with our future.
Sasaki going to the Dodgers is a Kevin Durant move? LOL! KD was a top 3 plyr at that time and made the finals and also took the Warriors to 7 games. Sasaki hasn't played one game in the MLB and nobody is calling him the top pitcher in the game.
These guys are reaching so hard for Padres. It’s just about winning -Dodgers are guaranteed to go playoffs Division leader in the last 12 of 13 years. Yu Darvish is done in 2 years, Ohtani/Yamamoto is for the next 10-12 years. Easy answer !!
When I was in my 20s, I would have rather played with Tony Gwynn and Greg Maddux than Albert Pujols and CC Sabathia (bonus points if someone can tell me the years I'm thinking of). Playing alongside your heroes is much more exciting than playing with your contemporaries. Not saying he will choose the Padres, just answering your question.
@@mikesam401 because 2 years with your mentor could be 2 years spent with the person you respect most in the world than 2 years not spent with him to improve as a player.
@popozz he already has. He is a better pitcher than he was 2 years ago. He is a more complete pitcher, no longer reliant on his 102 mph fastball. He did this for several reasons. He wants to preserve his health, and two, he wants to have a longer career. His splitter is as fast as the majority of pitchers, which makes it difficult to identify as a splitter. He's also refined his slider, which is just filthy. He all but abandoned his curve ball, which he rarely throws. Sasaki has toned done on his velocity by an average of 2 MPH, but even that he would have the top 7 fastball in the MLB right now. If he goes back to the same velocity, he immediately would have the best fastball in the league. It is not just speed. His fastball is unique because it moves horizontally and vertically, moving inward to right-handed hitters. This makes it difficult to distinguish whether it's a fastball or not. So, upon facing him, you are always second-guessing yourself, causing a delay, as he also sports the best splitter in baseball, which also looks like a fastball upon release. It's filthy and has literally made hitters fall down trying to swing for it. With a slider just as fast as many pitchers, it makes him very tough to face.
All u wishful Padres fans. You guys can’t compete against the Dodgers in or out of the field. But the biggest reason why the Fryers (on purpose) have no shot is that u can’t ease him into the league. Y’all are so short staffed that u will make him pitch every 5th day which he has never done. LA offers him EVERYTHING including his country’s following and recognition. First class players need first class organizations and y’all ain’t it
You’re dumb. Your own manager and team ie Betts said the parts are the World Series. Just two years ago we beat. Just cause you one you act like a clown. Grow up and enjoy the championship
Roki is a competitor. This is a guy foregoing a guaranteed 300M if he just waits 2 years. All this because he wants to test his skills. It is very possible he wants to play against Shohei and Yoshi rather than be his teammates. Roki has been seen gearing up a Padres Jersey.
Padres not winning anything Z Roki giving up money to win championships w ohtani and yamamoto . Ohtani probably told sasaki his experience w the Angels and convince him to win w him and yami
@am3lagrimas410 no argument there. But, Roki is his own guy. While the Dodgers are clear favorites, there are also the Yankees who have also scouted him for years. He's also familiar with them. His hero growing up is Masahiro Tanaka. He practically rooted for the Yankees growing up because of him. His mentor is Yu Darvish, whom he greatly respects and looks up to. MLB and his agent, Joel Wolfe are also involved and could also advise him to take a separate route because he could be the lone star and corner one market. It is also beneficial for the league money-wise if he does because it will create a rivalry scenario. The Dodgers may have a load of pool money right now, but that changes in December 1st because pool distribution rewinds and all 30 teams are in play. While the most likely scenario is the Dodgers, it is not as guaranteed as many would think.
Only time will tell honestly. When ohtani was rumored to go to LA. I gave it no chance. It happened. Yamamoto, I was like ugh maybe. Then it happened. As time passes. I’m starting to think ohtanis purposely deferred his money so his Japanese boys can join him lol
the greatest pitching coach in the planet lol thats comedy give me the yrs your so called greatest has had your pitching staff number in all of mlb? ill wait.......
@flat_life750 since 2013, when Niebla took over as pitching coordinator, Cleveland has the best collective ERA of 3.74 in the American League and is a key part of the reason why Cleveland has been able to be competitive with low spending compared to other teams. This man knows his stuff. With him with the Padres, it greatly improves their pitching development. He is known as a personal coach who meticulously works with each pitcher in an individual level. He's a great coach.
Ben the only one I can’t respect from the three he never speaks facts . He speaks as a dodger hater lol just like he couldn’t accept that padres “ choked “ in the playoffs
😂😂😂 why would roki want to go to the lame padres hes always been in talk with the dodgers fir the past 3 years. He will get his feet wet and see what teams are offering but the padres dont have the payroll of the dodgers or mets. Hes going to be a dodger dont get your hopes up padre weenies.
You guys definitely don't understand Asian's mindset. If he goes to the Padres or Yankees, all of Japan will see him as a traitor to Team Japan. Everyone in Japan is rooting for Ohtani's team
He doesn’t want to play for Dodgers….. He wants to find his own identity! Plus all you guys talking about Ohtani and Yamamoto next 10-12 years! There is a thing called father time and let’s see how Ohtani does after his second TJ! I give the Dodgers props but Ohtani was Doo Doo in the Playoffs! I think Pads will get him and Im not a Pads Fan! One last thing with the $$ Dodgers have you guys should have Multiple W.S. Rings!!!!! Can you say underachievers!!!! I hate when I know about your team than you do……. Lol
Dodgers' "pitch" - there's a good chance that you will injure your arm in 3 months or so and require TJ surgery, BUT you'll more likely get a nice shiny WS ring for your troubles. 😬
Roki is the kind of pitcher who uses the rubber band effect. There's not as much stress on his arm as some might think. Think if you place a paper ball on a rubber and then release it. It creates a lot of torque and the ball goes far. From the moment he leg kicks and releases the ball, the rubber band effect is what allows him to throw 100-103 mph. If any, it is his shoulder.....most of the time, shoulders are much more durable than the arm. This is what happened to him this year. He had shoulder fatigue in which just needed rest, and he missed 2 starts during that period. Then, he was ok in the playoffs in which he dominated in his only start due to his team not advancing.
Thanks to all the dodger fans who are weighing in every day! We ❤️ you guys 🤑
We have chips padres have none we cant talk the shit cause we better

The Dodgers have more international money than any team period !! Going to Dodgers !!
no they don't.....
Are you high? Do you research before start talkin
Only until Dec. 1st.
It’s ok he just showed how much baseball he actually knows and what type of fan he is lol 😂
Sasaki will be a Dodger.
It’s over guys - we had our shot this year but if you want to win, go to the Dodgers. We are outgunned.

Your a clown don’t know anything rather he signs there or not.
Roki aint gonna be a Padre i can tell you that. Darvish getting old and will be leaving soon. Plus Dodgers marketing is where he will benefit
You guys sound like a bunch of old desperate men who just saw a cute young girl.
Why would Roki want to play with uncle Yu Darvish when he can play with his big brothers Ohtani and Yamamoto while both are in their prime
Cause LA is a giant shithole that’s why

It's over for the madres. Daddy getting everyone.
You can slide right in 1 or 2 in front of Cease and King? Wow
If Darvish teaches Sasaki some magic pitches, he will evolve further!

if/when he comes to SD, he should have enough "juice" to force the front office to get rid of the 'City Connect; gear, yes?

That's the vibe I got when I first listen he so sounds like is envy of dodgers accomplishment.
