Los Angeles boasts a truly star-studded lineup as the organization improved on an already extremely impressive roster.

3/07/25	Cubs are treating one veteran pitcher as if he has already made the Opening Day roster. While the Chicago Cubs do not have the formality of Roki Sasaki being a non-roster invite the way the Los Angeles Dodgers currently do, there is a veteran pitcher among their mix of flyers who is seemingly already on track to making the Opening Day roster. Veteran Brad Keller has been among the most impressive stories on the Cubs' roster during Cactus League play. Source: https://cubbiescrib.com/cubs-are-treating-one-vete...

3/05/25	Roki Sasaki pitches 3 scoreless innings in his spring debut with the Dodgers. Roki Sasaki has pitched three scoreless innings for the Los Angeles Dodgers in his spring training debut against the Cincinnati Reds. Sasaki allowed two hits, struck out five and walked one. The right-hander threw 46 pitches, 26 for strikes. Yoshinobu Yamamoto started for the World Series champions and worked four innings of two-run ball before Sasaki came in. The Reds put two runners on with one out in the fifth, but Sasaki escaped the jam by striking out TJ Friedl and Matt McLain — both looking.

3/05/25	Dodgers’ Roki Sasaki feels ‘excitement and nervousness’ in spring debut. Sasaki reaches 99 mph with his fastball, a significant improvement over his bullpen sessions and live batting practice. “This is the best we’ve seen him,” Dave Roberts says.

3/04/25	The plan for Roki Sasaki's Dodgers spring training debut. Rookie Roki Sasaki will make his spring training debut on Tuesday night for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but it won't be as a starting pitcher. The Dodgers' prized offseason signing will come out of the bullpen to follow starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the team has announced. Yamamoto will try to go four innings as he ramps up for the regular season, while the Dodgers hope Sasaki can complete three innings. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/d...
3/03/25	Everything I Know About 2025 Fantasy Baseball. When I first came to Truss with the idea for an all-in-one, lightning round between myself and my ego and my id and my super-intelligent idea-go (I think that's what it's called), he was super-psyched. At least, that's what I assume the [thumbs up] emoji means. Then he asked if I knew enough to make it longer than one paragraph. Very funny, Mr. Truss. Say that three times fast now and then tell me who has the better user name. ENYWHEY. It's fantasy baseball draft season. My home dynasty auction league with Jakkers finished on Saturday morning (I got Roki Sasaki for $40), a bunch of LABR and Tout Drafts finished last week (you should see Truss' team, it's delightful), and TGFBI and RazzSlam start this next week. A bunch of y'all are probably in the midst of drafting or about to do some crazy March Madness pick 'em to determine draft order (like Coolwhip's home league, "SuperNuts", which I just joined). In the moment of the draft, it can be hard to Google the hell out something real quick in 90 seconds before your draft timer is up. "Oh shizz, I forgot about Dre" you say as you write a joke millenials will maybe understand, only to realize via Razzball player universe search that there are no MLB players named Dre this year. Good one, EWB. ENYWHEY part deux. If you need to bookmark a page for advice during draft season, consider this one. Source: https://razzball.com/everything-i-know-about-2025-...
2/28/25	Dave Roberts reveals surprising Roki Sasaki spring training debut plan for Dodgers. The Los Angeles Dodgers and their fans won't have to wait much longer to see Roki Sasaki in action, as manager Dave Roberts announced that the highly anticipated Japanese pitching sensation will make his Cactus League debut on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Sasaki will follow fellow countryman Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who is scheduled to start the game and pitch up to four innings before Sasaki enters in a predetermined role. This outing marks a significant moment for the 23-year-old right-hander, who has generated immense buzz since signing with the Dodgers in the offseason. With a dominant track record in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), where he posted a 2.10 ERA and struck out 505 batters across 394 2/3 innings, Sasaki arrives in Los Angeles with sky-high expectations.

2/26/25	White Sox' Teel a back field backstop sensation. You know it was a rough day for the White Sox when the highlight was a home run during a live batting practice, simulated game exercise on the spring training complex back fields. While the Sox were getting walloped by the Colorado Rockies in a Cactus League game 45 minutes away in Scottsdale on Tuesday, a collection of six Sox prospects and non-roster invites faced Dodgers Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki in Glendale. One of them was left-handed hitting catcher Kyle Teel, the No. 32 prospect per MLB Pipleline, and Teel demonstrated where the projections are coming from by hitting Sasaki's second pitch over the fence.

Who cares if it was not a real game, Sasaki was still trying out there during the practice session.

2/24/25	Red Sox Phenom Roman Anthony May Have Shot At Opening Day Roster. The Boston Red Sox have arguably the best prospect in baseball and we may not have to wait too long to see him playing at Fenway Park. Roman Anthony is just 20 years old and was considered the No. 1 prospect in baseball before Roki Sasaki signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Anthony had a breakout year in 2024 and finished the season with a .291/.396/.498 slash line to go along with 18 home runs, 65 RBIs, 32 doubles, and 21 stolen bases across 119 overall games with the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs and Triple-A Worcester Red Sox. Anthony is going to help the Red Sox for a long time, but when will he make his big league debut? Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news...
2/21/25	Dodgers' Roki Sasaki follows in Shohei Ohtani's footsteps with surprising revelation. New Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki is the No.1 ranked prospect in baseball and enters MLB with a dynamic splitter and an abundance of promise. The 23-year-old right-hander carved out his own spectacular run in Japan's Pacific League, even tossing a perfect game in 2022, but he will inevitably be compared to his fellow countrymen and LA teammates. Japanese stars who sign with the Dodgers will be linked to global sensation and reigning National League MVP Shohei Ohtani. The same thing happened to Yoshinobu Yamamoto when he decided to wear blue last offseason. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/d...
2/19/25	With the Dodgers' organization watching, Roki Sasaki has some success throwing live batting practice. Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki threw 27 pitches over two innings of live batting practice at Camelback Ranch in front of hundreds of fans and several teammates. It also seemed like the entire Los Angeles Dodgers organization was watching behind home plate. Sasaki wasn’t particularly fazed by the attention Wednesday and looked much more comfortable than last week, when he was a little wild during a bullpen session in chilly weather. He recorded two strikeouts, including one on back-to-back splitters to Eddie Rosario. Source: https://www.chron.com/sports/article/with-the-dodg...
2/18/25	Dodgers' Dave Roberts gives 'clean and consistent' take on Roki Sasaki. The Los Angeles Dodgers, the richest team in the MLB both literally and figuratively, only got richer this past offseason. The Dodgers were the team that managed to secure the services of burgeoning Japanese international Roki Sasaki, a 23-year-old flamethrower who's expected to be emerge as a quality rotation piece for years to come. It has to be said, however, that transitioning stateside requires a bit of an adjustment period, so Sasaki has to be cut some slack in case he doesn't produce immediately. Manager Dave Roberts lauded the 23-year-old for improving every single day in camp, integrating himself within the team rather quickly. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/d...
2/15/25	Dodgers' 2 spring training position battles worth watching. The Los Angeles Dodgers feature no shortage of roster depth. The Dodgers signed stars such as Roki Sasaki and Blake Snell this offseason. Additionally, there are a number of pitchers who would be locks to make any other starting rotation that may end up in the bullpen or the minor leagues for this Dodgers squad. Without further ado, here are two Dodgers' spring training position battles worth watching. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-los-angeles-sprin...
2/14/25	Dodgers' Will Smith dealing with preseason ankle injury. Expectations are extremely high for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025 following their World Series victory last season. LA improved its roster even further by adding stars such as Roki Sasaki and Blake Snell, and now they will once again enter the season with a championship-or-bust mentality. Injuries may be the only element of the sport that can derail this talented team, and catcher Will Smith is reportedly dealing with a preseason ankle issue, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Ardaya later reported that Smith was catching a bullpen and is also expected to have a live batting practice on Friday. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-will-smith-p...
2/12/25	Roki Sasaki, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shota Imanaga expected to pitch for Dodgers, Cubs during Japan trip. The teams will open the season at the Tokyo Dome on March 18-19. Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/roki-sasaki-yoshinobu-yam...
