Roki Sasaki signing with the Dodgers makes their rotation unfathomably talented

The Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t need Roki Sasaki, the Japanese phenom pitcher who looked so good when we saw him throw over the years.

No matter. He’s now a Dodger, as he announced on Friday. It’s probably the least surprising thing ever.

But now, we have to go over the Dodgers’ rotation. It’s disgusting. It’s filthy. It’s … beyond that.

As of right now, it might look like this:

Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Shohei Ohtani 

Roki Sasaki

Tyler Glasnow

Blake Snell

That’s right, Glasnow or Snell COULD BE THE FIFTH STARTER!

But wait! What if Clayton Kershaw decides to come back? What about names like Bobby Miller, Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin, all of whom are really good?

Embarrassment of riches doesn’t even begin to describe it.
