Los Angeles Dodgers shareholder Stan Kasten today broke the interesting inside story of last year's bid for Japanese-born pitcher Ranghee Sasaki, with the no-treat toilet being one of the key factors. The Dodgers undertook a major pre-season renovation of their restroom and other facilities to fulfill the hardware upgrades they had promised when they signed Shohei Ohtani. During a meeting about Ronda Sasaki's signing, Ronda took the initiative and asked, "After the renovation, will you install a toilet?" The team immediately changed the renovation plan and replaced all the toilets in the lounge with no-cure toilets, and finally signed Ranghi Sasaki, which Kasten said was totally unexpected.
