Padres and Dodgers Considering Unprecedented Deal to Share Japanese Phenom Roki Sasaki

REPORT: In a groundbreaking move that's set to redefine the rules of baseball and family law, Holly Baylor from FAX Sports has just dropped a bombshell rumor that's more sensational than a Cancun taco with ketchup. Get ready for this: the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly exploring a unique arrangement to "share" the coveted free agent pitcher, Roki Sasaki, under what can only be described as the MLB's first-ever split custody agreement.

Roki Sasaki may be pitching for both the Dodgers and Padres in 2025.

Picture this: Roki Sasaki, the Japanese pitching sensation who's been turning heads faster than a Spencer Strider slutter, might just become the most shared asset in Major League Baseball history. According to Baylor's tweet, the Padres and Dodgers are considering a schedule where Sasaki would pitch for one team every other week, alternating like kids during a divorce settlement. Can you imagine the team meetings? "Alright, Roki, remember, this week you're ours, but next week, you're back with your other family, the Dodgers. Don't forget your glove!"

Let's dive into the logistics. Will there be a visitation schedule? Will Sasaki have to pack his bags every Sunday night, switching between San Diego's sunshine and LA's glitz? Will there be joint birthday parties for Roki, with both teams showing up in their respective colors? The possibilities are endless, and frankly, hilarious.

This rumored arrangement has sparked a trend titled "As the international signing window approaches, where will Japanese pitching sensation Roki Sasaki land?" with speculation rampant across the baseball community. While the San Francisco Giants have been officially ruled out, the Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Padres are all in the mix, but none of them expected to share custody like this.

MLB insiders are buzzing, with some joking that the Dodgers would obviously "defer their support payments" as if this were a real divorce scenario, while others are wondering if this could lead to a new era of player sharing in MLB. Imagine the team rivalries turning into family reunions...

Padres' third baseman Manny Machado chuckled at the idea but expressed a competitive edge. "Sharing custody? That's a new one. But if it means we get Sasaki's talent on our roster, I'm all for it. Just make sure we get him for the home games against the Dodgers. We need every advantage we can get to keep our edge in this rivalry. F*ck LA."

Shohei Ohtani weighed in via his new translator: "Playing with Roki would be like a dream come true, sharing the same field, but sharing him with the Padres? That's a new level of competition. It would be interesting to see how it would work out. We could make baseball history with this kind of arrangement."

So, as we await official confirmation or denial of this custody battle over Roki Sasaki, one thing is clear: baseball just got a whole lot funnier. Stay tuned to @mlbonfax and @HollyBaylorMLB for more updates on this unprecedented sharing situation, because in the world of MLB, anything can happen, especially when it involves the most sought-after pitcher since... well, since the last big free agent signing.
