Yu Darvish hopes Roki Sasaki joins San Diego Padres after MLB posting

Yu Darvish expressed his hope for fellow Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki to join the San Diego Padres after Sasaki was posted to MLB. Darvish believes Sasaki's arrival would benefit the team and himself personally. The Padres have made limited moves this offseason, adding only a minor league pitcher. Meanwhile, other teams, like the Dodgers, are actively strengthening their rosters, increasing competition in the National League. Sasaki's agent plans to meet with teams soon, and Darvish is willing to assist in the recruitment process. He described Sasaki as eager to learn and expressed confidence in the Padres' efforts to attract him.
