Although the Dodgers reportedly started the 2024 international signing period by adding talented shortstop Emil Morales, they aren’t expected to be aggressive in the market.
That’s largely due to a belief the Dodgers will look to save the bulk of their bonus pool money for Roki Sasaki, who could be posted near the end of the 2024 international signing period.
Like with Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers have laid an early foundation with scouting Sasaki during his time pitching for Chiba Lotte Marines of Japan’s Pacific League.
