But what about their porous border with Buffalo?

It's a little too porous, you try swimming across that river.

 

Zero surprise. 🙄

boo.

At least the Blue Jays scored that sweet Myles Straw contract.

SHOCKER OF ALL SHOCKERS!!!  Guess he didn’t value the Iguchi connection.  🤣

 

Getz had a seat at the table…

Patino is a nice consolation prize. Let’s take more of the Dodgers class.

Baseball is so fucking broken

This is just boring.

Baseball is going to be losing millions of fans around the country to indifference if they let this keep happening

Come on, it’s hard to complain about this one they didn’t shell out some crazy contract. 
 

Amazing place to live, top tier team, close to Japan, another Japanese superstar on the roster. Why wouldn’t you choose them?

Exactly.  Win a WS in his next few seasons and who cares about this cheap contract?  That will be the payoff alone for Sasaki.

The funniest part of this saga is anyone who even questioned that he wouldn’t be a Dodger.

Two on the roster before the signing. Now 3

Sucks for the Jays. MLBTR article said they have about $6M to spend. Unless it’s like a Padres situation and they have guys they can announce.

Edit: it might have been $8M

Seems like they will. Haven’t heard of their guys getting poached.

Maybe he and other international players should be subject to a draft

I don’t think that’s related.  I think they had more to gain by Toronto getting him.

Nobody else had a seat at the table. This was decided 2 years ago.

Forgot about this.

Dodgers are baseball oligarchy.

Which isn’t that crazy considering all the amateurs that agree with teams years in advance
