Japanese ace Roki Sasaki isn't the only pitcher the Los Angeles Dodgers have been connected to in free agency.

The Dodgers are also "looking into" free agent pitchers including Blake Snell, Corbin Burnes and Max Fried, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

"Word is that assuming they land Sasaki, they'll try for one more big pitcher," Heyman wrote.

The Dodgers are already returning two other Japanese stars to the rotation in Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani is expected to pitch for the first time since 2023 next season, although his November shoulder surgery could delay his return to the mound, per Ronald Blum of the Associated Press.

Tyler Glasnow, Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin are also under contract for the 2025 season, as well as young starters like Bobby Miller and Landon Knack.

The Dodgers could also potentially return two free agents in Walker Buehler, whom Heyman said the team will "consider re-signing," and Clayton Kershaw, who declined his 2025 option in Los Angeles but is expected to return.

That already leaves the Dodgers with one of the most stacked rotations in the MLB heading into the 2025 season.

Add in Sasaki, who pitched a 2.02 ERA through four seasons in Japan, and the Dodgers will set themselves up to be favorites to become the first repeat World Series champions since the New York Yankees in 2000.

The Dodgers aren't guaranteed to land Sasaki, however, in part because they can't offer him a deal anything near a contract like the 12-year, $325 million agreement they inked with Yamamoto in 2023 because of his age.

The 23-year-old will enter the league as an international amateur, rather than a foreign professional. That means he'll be signing a minor-league contract with a bonus restricted by each team's international signing pools, which are hard capped at around $7 million, (h/t The Athletic's Jim Bowden.)

Teams' international signing bonus pools reset on Dec. 15, so teams will be able to dip into their 2025 pools in order to make offers for Sasaki when the international signing period opens on Jan. 15.

The San Diego Padres are also expecting to be "one of the leading suitors" for Sasaki, MLB.com's Shaun O'Neill recently reported. The Dodgers will hope the successful additions of Yamamoto and Ohtani will help them in their bid to beat out this NL West rival.
