The Mets have been in a verbal agreement to sign the No. 2 international prospect Elian Peña out of the Dominican Republic — Sasaki is No. 1. With their international bonus pool money, $6,261,600, according to Baseball America, set to replenish Wednesday, they’ll have enough to officially sign Peña.

The New York Mets could look to swing a massive trade for San Diego Padres ace Dylan Cease after whiffing on Roki Sasaki.

It's down to the Dodgers, Padres and Blue Jays in the race for 23-year-old Japanese pitching phenom Sasaki. This could be an inflection point for the Toronto franchise.
