The recent trade between the Cleveland Guardians and Toronto Blue Jays could hold weight as Roki Sasaki nears a decision.

Roki Sasaki will sign with either the Dodgers, Padres, or Blue Jays. Here's how their pitching staffs would look with the Japanese sensation in the fold.

Right-hander Roki Sasaki, the covered Japanese free agent, has whittled down a list of suitors to two finalists, according to a report by veteran MLB reporter Francys Romero. Sasaki eliminated the San Diego Padres and will choose between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays, the report claims.

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired Gold Glove outfielder Myles Straw along with international bonus pool cash that could help them sign Roki Sasaki.

The Blue Jays announced on Friday that they've obtained outfielder Myles Straw, cash, and international bonus signing pool space from the Guardians in exchange for a player to be named later or cash.

As the Blue Jays wait for Roki Sasaki's final decision, they swung a trade with the Guardians for an intriguing outfielder.

A potential dream signing for the Toronto Blue Jays is becoming closer to a reality. The Blue Jays were one of the three known finalists for Japanese superstar pitcher Roki Sasaki, and on Friday, the San Diego Padres were reported to be out of the running.
