Roki Sasaki joins Dodgers, boosting team's rotation
The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees are set to introduce top prospects Roki Sasaki and Jasson Dominguez in 2025. Sasaki, a 23-year-old pitcher from Japan, is known for his fastball and splitter. Dominguez, a 22-year-old outfielder, is recovering from elbow surgery and aims to secure a starting position. Other notable prospects include Roman Anthony and Kristian Campbell from the Boston Red Sox, both showing strong performance in the minors. Cleveland's Travis Bazzana, the top draft pick in 2024, and St. Louis' Quinn Matthews, who had an impressive first professional season, are also expected to make their mark soon. The Chicago White Sox's Noah Schultz and the Chicago Cubs' Matt Shaw are among other young talents poised for potential major league debuts. Each player represents a shift towards youth as teams aim to enhance their rosters for playoff contention.
