Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski recently made his feelings clear regarding the team's pursuit of Roki Sasaki. After the Phillies' successful signing of Max Kepler, Dombrowski addressed the concerns regarding the Phillies' efforts to engage in talks with the Japanese pitching sensation. These concerns show a growing sense of urgency as the start of the 2025 MLB season approaches.
Sasaki, a popular 23-year-old right-handed pitcher, has become one of the most wanted free agents in the league. He is known for his impressive fastball which can reach up to 102.5 mph and his devastating splitter.
However, despite the Phillies' interest in Sasaki, Dombrowski's remarks suggest that his team has yet to secure an opportunity to make a pitch.
On Friday, MLB reporter Paul Casella took to X and reported about the Phillies president's comments on the anticipated signing of Sasaki.
