Canadian SportsNet quoted The Athletic's report on the 14th (Korea time) and said, "Sasaki recently visited Toronto, copyright to meet with the Toronto Blue Jays."

The meeting was not over. A Canadian Baseball Federation award ceremony was held at a hotel near its home stadium, Rogers Centre, and it was alleged that officials who attended the ceremony witnessed a person similar to Sasaki training at the baseball stadium.

SportsNet said, "The video that was released to us was filmed from a distance. It shows a baseball player surrounded by Toronto officials and staff members and a pitcher with a Japanese style (pitching foam) throwing it on a flat ground."

It seems to have been witnessed by many people. Some claim that they saw Sasaki not only at the hotel but also at a restaurant overlooking the field. They all say that it was like Sasaki's pitching form.

Earlier in the day, multiple media outlets, including Jeff Bankruptcy and MLB.com of ESPN in the U.S., reported that only three teams remained before Sasaki's recruitment, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Toronto.

After the report, a video clip showing Sasaki playing catch at Petco Park, her home stadium, in San Diego's training suit was released. There were several officials who also carefully captured Sasaki's appearance.

And this time, he was spotted training and meeting in Toronto.

However, there has been no word that he met with the Dodgers yet. The Sponichi Annex of Japan reported that the Dodger Stadium is undergoing maintenance and there has been no evidence that Sasaki has been training yet.

Sasaki posted a record of 29 wins and 15 losses with a 2.10 ERA in 64 NBP games. After achieving the youngest perfect game in 2022, he made his name known by writing a new record of 13 consecutive strikeouts. Later, he participated in the WBC and proved his ball power, and based on this, he declared his bid to enter the U.S. Major League this winter. With the club's permission added to it, he is knocking on the door of Major League Baseball this winter.

However, since he is under 25 years old, he cannot win a big contract. He has to sign a contract within the international bonus pool that each club owns. The bonus pool will be reset on Jan. 16. Therefore, Sasaki's contract is in the countdown to the contract.

The Toronto Blue Jays own the Bonus Pool at 6,261,600 U.S. dollars. The Dodgers have the lowest price of 5,146,000 dollars, and the San Diego Padres have the lowest price of 6,261,600 dollars.

It is up to Sasaki to decide. Which of the three teams will Sasaki choose.
