It was only a matter of time before we learned when the Cubs would have their in-person meeting with star Japanese free agent Roki Sasaki and it’s now been confirmed. According to Chicago baseball insider Bruce Levine, the Cubs are meeting with the 23-year-old starting pitcher on Friday.
The Cubs are the latest team to reportedly have a face-to-face meeting with Sasaki this week in Los Angeles, joining both the Yankees and Mets. The first round of in-person meetings will all take place in LA.
