If Roki Sasaki knows business and takes the smart route, he should sign with the Yankees. He alone will be the only Japanese star and his Jerseys will likely sell more in the east coast. This allows him to leverage the Yankee market to attract more endorsements.
@dvsat12 true, but his agent will probably have a say on what's the best for his financial future. Keep in mind, he is forgoing a possible 300-400 million bucks to possibly come to the MLB early because of NPB free agency rules. It won't be about money for at least 2 years, which means he would have to make money in endorsements for now. This could influence his decision. If he goes to the Yankees, Sasaki vs Ohtani in a pitching matchup is a much better sell than them being on the same team. Dodgers vs Yankees. Imagine that matchup in the World Series? Or in a regular season game, for that matter?
@dvsat12 in a best financial gain for the MLB, it benefits them to have a rivalry rather than vice versa. Munetaka Murakami has expressed his willingness to be a Yankee. If Sasaki signs with the Yankees and with Murakami there, it creates a dream scenario of Murakami, Sasaki vs Yoshi, Ohtani. This kid has been on the radar for many years with both the Dodgers and Yankees. The Yankees already lost out on Ohtani and Yoshi, whom they scouted for many years. This gives the Yankees motivation to not lose out on Sasaki if they make it clear that they will sign Murakami after 2025 season. This could convince Sasaki to sign with the Yankees if the eventual financial gain is much greater than the Dodgers.

Or he chooses the team he thinks has the biggest chance to win? not always about the money

Lmao hell nah. Dodgers
@@dannyayala9838 Dodgers are favorites to land him, but if he does become a Yankee, it would be for that very reason.
