The Dodgers believe the Japanese right-hander, who was introduced at a press conference at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, has the potential to be an annual Cy Young Award contender.

What do you buy for the team that has everything? That is the question that the Los Angeles Dodgers have been wrestling with this winter. The answer, it would appear, is Roki Sasaki.

Sasaki’s arrival was a unique affair, with the hard-throwing right-hander being hailed as a key — and economical — part of the team’s future after inking a minor league contract with a $6.5-million signing bonus that was finalized Wednesday.
