What's the max they could trade to the Dodgers or Padres?  Is there any overall max/ceiling LAD or SD can accumulate from other teams in order to pay off Sasaki...including the posting fee to Chiba Lotte?

Last I knew it was up to half of a year's pool, in increments of 250k.  I think the speculation was that the Sox had a couple of million left with back of the envelope math.

Patiño is expected to sign for $570,000, an increase from the $400,000 he was in line to get from the Dodgers prior to Sasaki’s posting.

Patiño is 6-foot-2, 203 pounds and extremely strong for his age with big righthanded power. There isn’t much physical projection left with Patiño, but he already drives the ball with impact in a swing geared to lift the ball. He’s a corner outfielder with a plus arm to fit in right field. 

Sasaki’s impending signing has caused ripple effects throughout the international market with the 2025 signing period set to open on Jan. 15. Teams that believe they are still in the mix have told the international players who had committed to sign with them that they still want to sign them. However, those signings would have to wait until after Jan. 15 and might ultimately fall through if the club does sign Sasaki. Many of those agreements are still in place, but it’s a situation that has created more tension in the market and caused trainers and players to consider offers from other teams. Several players committed to teams that have been in consideration for Sasaki have been receiving offers from other clubs and starting tryouts with other teams.

32.35 seconds to round the bases.

Anderson Gomes flashbacks, lol...

 

Well, they now have perhaps their most exciting outfield candidate, to go along with Braden Montgomery, Zavala and George Wolkow.

Is Chris Getz a "genius" or he was simply in the right place at the right time (just like the Pirates with Morel) to strike a blow against the Evil Dodgers' Empire?

Or they're so far out of the loop with these guys (due to scouting losses) is all they can do is research the signing class and simply throw money at Dodgers, Padres and Toronto (Christopher Polanco looms large, SS) 2025 potential signings????

I wonder if these bonuses are agreed to so early that as the player continues to age and mature, their price does too. They may have had those numbers agreed upon for a year now. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good call…I was wondering something similar.
