The Los Angeles Dodgers are at it again. After the Dodgers agreed to a deal with starting pitcher Rōki Sasaki on Friday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com

Prized Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki says in an Instagram post he intends to sign with the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers bookended their offseason by signing 2-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell and Japanese ace Roki Sasaki, stacking their already star-studded rotation.

In a way, the financial aspect is even rosier than that (from the Dodgers' perspective), as typically with a prospect of this caliber, a team might feel pressure to sign him to an early extension. With Sasaki, there's no such pressure: Any talk of an extension now would be viewed as circumventing the transfer rules. It's almost too good to be true.
