Reasons why Rōki Sasaki should sign with the San Francisco Giants
If you’re to believe the reports, the San Francisco Giants are one of the finalists for Japanese pitching superstar Rōki Sasaki. That’s the good news. The bad news is that those same reports suggest the Los Angeles Dodgers are overwhelming favorites and the San Diego Padres are overwhelming runner-up favorites.
I prefer to focus on the good news. So here are a few reasons why I think Sasaki should sign with the Giants.
- They’re cool, and have great colors.
- Patrick Bailey is the best pitch-framing catcher in the Majors, and it is not even remotely close.
- Matt Chapman and Willy Adames are quite likely the best defensive left side of the infield in the Majors.
- Oracle Park is a delightful place to pitch.
- It’s also a delightful place to watch a game while drinking a beer, though that’s probably more a point for me than for Sasaki.
- Pitchers tend to love Bob Melvin.
- I also love Bob Melvin but, again, more of a point for me than for Rōki.
- The Giants have no other Japanese players for Sasaki to compete for endorsement dollars with.
- The Giants are set up to maybe have some success going forward, which Sasaki could be a huge part of, rather than being the front-runner that he might be if he signed with other teams.
- I would only say good things about him. You have my word, Rōki.
- San Francisco is awesome.
I think those are plenty enough reasons, personally.
- Opportunity for growth: The San Francisco Giants have a strong track record of developing young talent and helping players reach their full potential. Signing with the Giants would give Rōki Sasaki the opportunity to continue honing his skills and becoming the best player he can be.
- Supportive fan base: The Giants have a loyal and passionate fan base that would embrace Rōki Sasaki with open arms. Playing for a team with such dedicated fans can provide a boost of confidence and motivation for the young pitcher.
- Competitive team: The Giants have a history of success and are always in the mix for playoff contention. Signing with the Giants would give Rōki Sasaki the chance to compete at the highest level and potentially help the team bring home a championship.
- Beautiful ballpark: Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, is one of the most picturesque stadiums in all of baseball. Playing in such a stunning venue would be an unforgettable experience for Rōki Sasaki and could inspire him to perform at his best.
- Strong pitching staff: The Giants have a solid pitching staff with talented arms like Kevin Gausman and Logan Webb. Joining a team with a strong pitching rotation can provide Rōki Sasaki with the opportunity to learn from experienced players and continue to improve his game.
In conclusion, signing with the San Francisco Giants would be a fantastic opportunity for Rōki Sasaki to further his career and reach new heights in the world of baseball. With the support of the team, the fans, and the organization, he could thrive and make a significant impact on the field.
