Would have been an interesting dilemma with Iguchi and Takatsu involved...Japanese culture is so much about face and respect. But RedSox have had guys like Dice K Yoshida + relievers...Mets with Senga. No interview. Yankees Hideki Matsui Chien Ming Wang and Tanaka. Really seemed heavily influenced by what former Blue Jay Kikuchi said about Toronto...but no really big FA has committed to Toronto as of yet.

WestEddy Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/matt-seidler-files-response-to-sheel-seidler-lawsuit.html Quote Whether the ownership battle has any on-field impact is something that can be debated, but Matt’s filing insinuates that Sheel’s suggestion that the club might leave San Diego impacted discussions with right-hander Roki Sasaki. The Dodgers were long considered the most likely landing spot for Sasaki with the Padres considered a dark-horse threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's turned out she was a lot more intimately involved with running the team with Peter than any of the three remaining Seidler brothers, who now suddenly seem only interested in selling off the team at the highest possible valuation and cashing out. So everything is stuck in limbo and Preller's going to have to start selling off pieces to rebuild for another run 2-3 years from now...realistically. Or they fire Preller and bring in a Getz like figure to dismantle the team as quickly as possible depending upon the court rulings about the "control person" for the team moving forward.
