The Dodgers signing Juan Soto and Roki Sasaki would be devastating for baseball
NY Post
The folks at MLB won’t say it — and maybe they don’t even know it, or think it — but they need two things not to happen this free agency season. They absolutely need pitching sensation Roki Sasaki and hitting superstar Juan Soto not to sign on with that traveling band of All-Stars and all-time greats known as the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Nothing against LA. But let’s face it, the Dodgers are simply too good already.
I know this is the opposite of last winter when I opined that it was “great” for baseball that Shohei Ohtani went to the Dodgers (over the Blue Jays) because the incomparable Ohtani belonged on a marquee franchise. I think my border-crossing privileges were revoked over that one.
Anyway, the equation changed, the script flipped and the Dodgers look a level or three above everyone else since they signed the $182M, two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell after they somehow managed to win the World Series with most of their better starting pitchers either injured or inactive.
Add one more potential starting pitching arm to the free-agent market.

The Rangers do not play again until Friday when the Penguins come to the Garden, but the next three days will be the most critical of a season that is fast becoming a sinkhole.
During my vacation the past few weeks, a plugged-in agent told me it was his sense that the Mets were not playing at the top of the starting pitching market for Corbin Burnes and Max Fried.
Amazingly, the Knicks haven’t faced an Eastern Conference opponent with a winning record since October.
You don’t need to be a fortune teller — just a Giants fan well-versed in Murphy’s Law — to see the future headline now.
The Jets dropped their third straight game and eighth in their last nine on Sunday, a 26-21 loss to the Seahawks that sends them to 3-9 this season.
Bills fans maybe had a little too much fun in the snow Sunday night as Buffalo defeated the 49ers, 35-10.
The Mets have identified their next starting pitching project.
The Knicks reached the three-quarter pole of the basketball season Sunday night, and if they wanted to celebrate the occasion, they couldn’t have asked for a better patsy. Right now, the poor Pelicans are everyone’s favorite Homecoming Game, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram bedecked in sweaters and strapped to the injured list.
