Sasaki wore number 17 for the Chiba Lotte Marines and number 14 in the World Baseball Classic, but has his heart set on a different number in MLB.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have made another big move that makes their pitching staff even more impressive as they have agreed on a four-year deal with left-handed reliever Tanner Scott, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. The deal is worth $72 million.

Roki Sasaki's decision to play for the Dodgers, on what will start as a standard minor-league contract, instantly transforms the club's short- and long-term future.
