After Roki Sasaki signed with the Dodgers, there was a brief discussion around the fairness of the posting system and how much better it could've been for baseball if he'd had to go into the 2025 draft class. There's no one complaining about that anymore, given Sasaki's injury and poor performance before he went down, but Sasaki as a draft pick rather than an international signing is an interesting thought experiment.
If Sasaki had gone into the draft, the Dodgers would never have gotten him to LA. They're picking 40th and then 41st in Competitive Balance Round A — thanks to their trade with the Reds that sent Gavin Lux to Cincinnati.
