Roki Sasaki and his representatives met with Dodgers brass, making them the sixth Major League Baseball team confirmed to have pitched their vision for the 23-year-old superstar’s future.

The world champion Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly are among the Major League Baseball teams to have met with Japanese star Roki Sasaki. News of the meeting between the former Chiba Lotte Marines right-hander -- posted to MLB teams by the club earlier this month at baseball's winter meetings -- was reported by The Orange County Register on Saturday.

The Dodgers have long been considered one of the favorites to sign Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki. They recently became the sixth team known to have an in-person gathering with Sasaki, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register.
