Sasaki announced his decision via Instagram, finalizing his move just before the end of his 45-day posting window. According to ESPN&rsquo;s Alden Gonzalez, Sasaki will receive a $6.5 million signing bonus. This addition further cements the Dodgers&rsquo; dominance as the reigning World Series champions gear up for the 2025 season.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does R&#333;ki Sasaki make?<\/h2><p>Sasaki&rsquo;s $6.5 million signing bonus reflects his immense talent and potential.
