Yankees and Mets Out of the Running for Roki Sasaki 

Roki Sasaki has officially spurned both New York teams. Where does this leave the Yankees and Mets rotations, and what are their next moves? Were they ever truly in the running, or was this just posturing? With the Dodgers and Padres seemingly the frontrunners, is Sasaki destined for the West Coast? Could a dark horse team still emerge? What does this say about the allure of playing in New York versus the financial realities of smaller market teams and the international bonus pool system? Is this a missed opportunity for the Yankees and Mets, or a blessing in disguise, allowing them to allocate resources elsewhere? Weigh in with your thoughts and predictions.
