The list of potential suitors for Japanese ace Rōki Sasaki in free agency continues to grow.

Patrick Mooney of The Athletic revealed on Friday that the Chicago Cubs have a meeting scheduled with Sasaki.

The 23-year-old has reportedly visited with the New York Mets already.

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman confirmed that his team is also meeting with Sasaki and the Los Angeles Dodgers are considered to be a possible destination for the right-hander as well.

Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer previously confirmed that the team already submitted an initial presentation to Sasaki and his agent on Dec. 11.

"I think we're an appealing destination for any Japanese player," Hoyer said at the time, per Jordan Bastian of MLB.com.

Chicago already has success with free-agent Japanese starters, signing Shōta Imanaga to a four-year deal worth $58 million guaranteed prior to the 2024 season.

Imanaga exceeded expectations in his first year with the organization, earning an All-Star nod while finishing with a 15-3 record to go along with a 2.91 ERA and 1.021 WHIP.

He was previously teammates with Sasaki, as they were both on Team Japan's roster during the 2023 World Baseball Classic.

Sasaki wrapped up an incredible career with Chiba Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball. He finished with a 29-15 record to go along with a 2.10 ERA and 0.894 WHIP in 64 NPB appearances.

Sasaki showcased his fastball and splitter, racking up 505 strikeouts compared to 88 walks in 394.2 innings pitched.

Most of the Cubs' offseason activity has occurred on the trade market so far, acquiring star outfielder Kyle Tucker in a Dec. 13 deal with the Houston Astros. Chicago also moved Cody Bellinger to the Yankees on Tuesday.

As the Cubs attempt to build upon a record of 83-79 in 2024, the potential duo of Imanaga and Sasaki would give them a pair of imposing options at the top of their rotation.
