The last time the Dodgers tried to recruit and sign a Japanese star player they came out swinging yet they struck out. They missed out on a once-in-a-generation talent in Shohei Ohtani as he made his way down the 5 in Orange County with the Angels.
This time around the Dodgers are hoping for better luck as a new star from Japan hit the market for MLB teams to try and sign. Outfielder Seiya Suzuki was posted this Monday and will be available for all 30 MLB teams to bid on him. According to am570LASports host David Vassegh, Los Angeles has shown some interest in the 27-year old star.
