Latest Fantasy Rumors
Five teams standing out
The Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Phillies and Cubs are the teams showing the most interest in Imai, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Feinsand adds that the Orioles could also be a factor in the market for the Japanese right-hander. Imai is expected to travel to the United States to visit some teams after next week's Winter Meetings, so the list could get pared down soon. He posted a 1.92 ERA and 178:45 K:BB over 163.2 innings for the Seibu Lions of Nippon Professional Baseball during the 2025 season.
