Roki Sasaki's posting will likely extend into the 2025 international signing period, baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said Wednesday, allowing teams as much as $7,555,500 to sign the prized Japanese pitcher. "It kind of looks like the way it's going to shake out, that the signing there, just because the timing, will happen in the new pool period," Manfred said Wednesday during a news conference following an owners' meeting. If Sasaki signed this year, his maximum bonus would be $2,502,500 with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
