The "tempering suspicion" of Rocky Sasaki, who challenged the U.S. Major League Baseball with the posting system, is still lingering.
"It has been revealed that some major league clubs are protesting Commissioner Rob Manfred about the secret agreement between Chiba Lotte's Sasaki Rocky and the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are expressing their major league challenges," Japanese sports media Lonspo said on the 22nd based on news from local media in the U.S.
Sasaki's agent, Joel Wolf, is reportedly voicing anger while denying this altogether.
Commissioner Manfred also said, "We will crack down on Sasaki's secret agreement." This happened even before Sasaki officially applied for the posting system.
It started with testimony from foreign pitcher Dallas Keuchel of the Chiba Lotte Marines. Keuchel told the New York Post that he had heard rumors that a contract was signed with the Dodgers. ESPN even reported that "30 out of 30 teams (of the 30 teams) believe that (Sasaki) will go to Dodgers." 먹튀검증
Commissioner Manfred said, "We will thoroughly investigate and find the truth," adding that he intends to crack down on "tempering."
The agent is denying the full allegations. "A number of team executives who have done business with me and I know each other well are insulting my sincerity by saying that I am involved in unfair agreement with the Dodgers," Joel Wolf said, expressing anger, saying, "This is indeed an act that lacks sportsmanship." He is also an agent for big-name players such as Darvish Yu. Rumors between the two companies seem to hurt his past career.
In addition, Jim Borden, a former general manager-turned-MLB columnist, said, "There is an 85% chance that he will not sign with the Dodgers." All information about "LoneSpot" is coming out even before Sasaki officially applied for the posting system.
The deadline for Sasaki's posting application is December 15. Rumors will only be rampant until the destination is decided.
