Letters to Sports: Dodgers keep getting richer with Roki Sasaki deal

With the Roki $asaki $igning, the Dodgers are edging into Evil Empire territory. Yes, ability and willingness to spend big money are no guarantee of success. The Anaheim Artes are just one (local) example of that. But it sure gives you an advantage. You can not only attract stars such as Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, et al., and easily cover their hefty salaries, but you can also afford to eat or just simply pay tens of millions to role players and under-performers such as Chris Taylor.

Baseball needs a salary cap and minimum payroll.

So we get Roki Sasaki! Fantastic! It’s almost embarrassing. Almost.

Now that Roki Sasaki has chosen to hitch his star to the Dodgers, the only remaining question is how long will it be before he needs Tommy John surgery.
