Dodgers fans can get their own Sasaki jersey, T-shirt or other gear at Fanatics. This link will send you to Sasaki’s section on Fanatics, which will carry his merchandise. The jersey number will update when it is official what number he will wear for the Dodgers.

In a way, the financial aspect is even rosier than that (from the Dodgers' perspective), as typically with a prospect of this caliber, a team might feel pressure to sign him to an early extension. With Sasaki, there's no such pressure: Any talk of an extension now would be viewed as circumventing the transfer rules. It's almost too good to be true.

After much speculation, the hard-throwing Japanese pitcher posts his decision on Instagram, choosing to play with countrymen Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Los Angeles.
