View source for User:Ohtani wants to break Yamamoto contract record Sasaki vs. posting fee + team performance target Chiba Lotte… "Agrees to post next year."

Rocky Sasaki is expected to challenge the Major League next year with posting.


According to Japanese media, Sasaki inserted a clause into the contract that Chiba Lotte would post at his request. However, Sasaki and the club reportedly did not confirm this. It seems that he promised to remain silent until the time came.


Sasaki signed a one-year contract with Chiba Lotte to clarify his intention.


According to Kyodo News, Sasaki said at a press conference on the 27th, "I want to play in the American Major League in the future."


Sasaki added, "I have been discussing this with the club every year. I believe the club understands this."


But when asked about his future plans, Sasaki said, "I think it's important to play well in the upcoming season."


As a result, Japanese media predicted that Sasaki is likely to be posted immediately next offseason.


Sasaki appears encouraged by Ohtani's $700 million deal and teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto's 12-year, $325 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers through the posting system.


Yamamoto's former team, the Orix Buffaloes, collected $50.6 million from the Dodgers in posting fees based on contract value.


Experts rate Sasaki, who is three years younger than Yamamoto, as a better prospect.


However, if you advance to the Major League before the age of 25, you will not be able to sign a mega contract like Yamamoto. This is because MLB's rules on full bonus contracts for international amateur players apply to players under the age of 25, who have not played in overseas leagues for six years, and the contract limit is set.


Superstar Shohei Ohtani of "Dual Sword" was subject to the same rules when the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters posted it in 2017.
