Death, taxes and the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the free agent sweepstakes of a highly-coveted superstar free agent. This time, they won the pursue of Japanese ace pitcher Rōki Sasaki.
The 23-year-old announced he was joining the Dodgers in an Instagram post, as if signing Shohei Ohtani (10 years, $700 million), Yoshinobu Yamamoto (10 years, $325 million), Freddie Freeman (six years, $162 million) and Blake Snell (five years, $182 million) wasn’t enough.
The defending World Series champions were reported to be one of the three finalists for Sasaki, along with the San Diego Padres and Toronto Blue Jays. But as they did against the Jays with Ohtani, the Dodgers managed to win over Sasaki with their pitch.
The 23-year-old announced he was joining the Dodgers in an Instagram post.
And MLB fans are absolutely furious with the star-studded Dodgers landing yet another can’t-miss free agent that they obviously don’t need to win:
“Baseball is broken. Congrats on MLB for letting the Dodgers ruin baseball!!,” one unhappy fan stated.
“Can we just not. The MLB is a joke. Haven’t seen a roster differential this skewed in my entire lifetime. The Dodgers have killed baseball for years to come,” a fan wrote.
“I’m not shocked in the slightest but the Los Angeles Dodgers are ruining baseball. It’s not even a joke at this point, not only do I root for literally the worst team in history, on the opposite end is a super team who just spends money they don’t even have yet,” remarked another.
“Baseball is legitimately dead. Sucks that the same two or three teams dominate the MLB year over year and there is little to no variance. Can’t imagine this helps viewership or growth of the game outside of LA which is already a massive market. Rip baseball as we knew it,” said a fan.
“Major League Baseball is a joke of a league. Killed the sport,” quipped another.
“Baseball is bad. League is broken. Sorry. I tried to be optimistic. But what’s the point?,” asked another.
“If it weren’t for fantasy and betting, I’d have zero interest in MLB this year. Dodgers are ruining baseball,” wrote another.
“@MLB just got significantly less appealing. Just truly a pathetic joke to allow this to continue,” a fan quipped.
The Dodgers won the 2020 World Series and reached the NLCS in 2021 before they landed Ohtani, Freeman, Yamamoto and now both Snell and Sasaki. With no salary cap in major league baseball, they can just keep adding adding more and more superstars to a roster that no other MLB team comes close to matching.
It’s obviously frustrating for non-Dodgers fans, but they’re simply playing by the rules. If MLB wants to make their product more watchable for other fanbases, they’re going to have to add a salary cap system.
Rōki Sasaki Joins Dream Dodgers’ Rotation
It’s not a stretch to start wondering if the Dodgers are about to field the best rotation in the history of baseball. They have Ohtani, Yamamoto, All-Star Tyler Glasnow, the aforementioned two-time Cy Young winner in Snell and now Sasaki.
In short, good luck to the other MLB teams in thwarting the Dodgers’ bid for a repeat. The rich have gotten a whole lot richer.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been accused of being a serial cheater who makes women sign non-disclosure agreements before getting involved with them.
James has kept a squeaky-clean reputation since he was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003. But, every now and then, someone comes out with claims of infidelity.
The latest such accuser happens to be podcaster Sofia Franklyn, who has asserted that LeBron, as well as actor Leonardo DiCaprio, get their associates to make contact with women, who are then asked to sign NDAs once they agree to hook up.
