The number of Japanese pitcher Rocky Sasaki's destination candidates who challenged him to advance to the U.S. Major League through the posting system has increased by one more team.스포츠토토

Japanese media, including Sports Hochi, reported on what John Morosi, a reporter for MLB Network, posted on his X on the 8th.

The content is that there is one more club that has interviewed Sasaki.

So far, seven teams have been singled out for Sasaki. They include the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego, San Francisco, New York Yankees, Mets, Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers.

"I understand that we negotiated with at least one more team," said reporter John Morosi. The team is expected to be Detroit.

Sports Hochi quoted a San Diego reporter saying, "If I guess, I'll bet in Detroit."

For that reason, he cited an environment in which he could foster top-notch pitchers. He paid attention to the fact that there is a pitching coach Chris Petter.

Petter was named Detroit pitching coach in 2020 after leading the University of Michigan to second place in the College World Series. He reportedly fostered left-handed pitcher Tarik Skubal. Skubal achieved the American League triple crown in 2024 with 18-4 record, 2.39 ERA, and 288 strikeouts, and even won the Cy Young Award.

Sasaki has set a new standard for teams that she wants to recruit. The team will decide which one she can play considering player development, market size, and team location. "It's like the Sasaki Film Festival," Sasaki's agent Joel Wolf said. The festival's candidates include Detroit.
