Red Sox remain in contention for Roki Sasaki signing despite recent setbacks

The Boston Red Sox may still be in the running to sign Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki, despite not being invited to recent meetings with him. Reports indicate that Sasaki has narrowed his options to six teams, excluding the Red Sox. However, a Boston sports writer noted that the Red Sox have not been officially ruled out of the competition. Sasaki's agent mentioned that he might meet with additional teams beyond those he met in Los Angeles. Sasaki must decide on a team between January 15 and 23, 2025. The Red Sox will soon know if they have a chance to sign the young pitcher.
