The Los Angeles Dodgers have done it again. In a move that could shape the future of their rotation and further solidify their global reach, the Dodgers have signed Japanese pitching sensation Roki Sasaki.

For some teams in Major League Baseball, the chase for Roki Sasaki could not be measured in mere months. It lasted for years. One of those teams, the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, concluded that pursuit on Friday night by landing the star pitcher from Japan.
