MLB players are already sharing their opinions on the Dodgers' newest addition to their superteam.
Giants outfielder Logan Webb went to the X on Friday night and gave his reaction to Japanese ace Rocky Sasaki's trade to his division rival.
Webb captured his thoughts, not in words, but with a GIF, which showed a clip of a defeated Monstars team from the 1996 movie “Space Jam.”
The post appears to be a jab at the Dodgers, who have added another superstar to their team after winning the 2024 World Series.
The 23-year-old announced his decision to join Los Angeles in an Instagram post on Friday, ending the long-awaited lottery.
The Athletic later reported that Sasaki's signing bonus was $6.5 million.
In his four seasons in Japan, Sasaki posted a 2.02 ERA and emerged as one of the most promising outfield talents.
The righty was also a member of Team Japan when it won the 2023 World Baseball Classic, playing alongside future Dodgers teammates Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
After hearing offers from 20 different MLB teams, Sasaki narrowed his options to the Dodgers, Padres and Blue Jays, ultimately choosing the defending champions.
Webb's Giants made their own acquisitions in free agency, with Willie Adams and Justin Verlander headliners so far.
To make matters worse, the Dodgers also stole two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell from the Giants, signing him to a five-year deal in November.
The Giants, who finished 80-82 last season, have a challenging road ahead in the crowded NL West, where the Dodgers, Padres and Diamondbacks are all competitive.
