Prior to the posting of Roki Sasaki, MLB conducted an investigation mainly focused on the Chiba Lotte Marines to ensure compliance with existing protocols.
The investigation took place to confirm there were no illegal arrangements, but ultimately found no substantiation for the rumors surrounding Sasaki's posting.
The current posting system offers limited financial incentives for teams like the Marines, prompting concerns about potential under-the-table agreements for star players.
Despite the speculation regarding an agreement between Sasaki and the Dodgers, the agent strongly denied any handshake deal, keeping the integrity of the process intact.
