The Toronto Blue Jays versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Unfortunately for Jays fans, the ending is all too familiar. Despite being a finalist in the bidding for Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki — just as they were 13 months ago in the wildly expensive attempt to land Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani — the Blue Jays once again finished second in the running.

As the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes enter their final week, the Jays are giving it their best shot to give the Japanese pitcher the largest signing bonus possible.
