"On December 17, Francys Romero reported that Tatsuya Imai’s free agency has effectively narrowed to two finalists: the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs. The Yankees are pushing hard due to injuries across their rotation and their long-standing pursuit of a Japanese star. Tatsuya Imai’s preference to join a team without current Japanese players also aligns with New York. The Cubs remain deeply involved, viewing him as a potential top-of-the-rotation anchor and reportedly holding off on other moves while waiting on his decision." Just don't be the Cubs for BOTH Imai and Murakami... Can't see them bidding over $200 million for a pitcher. Thought Imai was SFG bound? "The Yankees not having a meeting with Imai is surprising. Especially given the fact that New York had been considered a frontrunner for the right-hander..."

It definitely won't be the Braves lol See article linked at bottom. Other baseball players who currently are or had been represented by Casey Close include Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Derrek Lee, Ben Sheets, Michael Cuddyer, Josh Hamilton, Eric Milton, Kenny Lofton and Richie Sexson.[ Was also involved in the Freddie ill-fated Freeman/Braves negotiations.... https://fansided.com/braves-blame-losing-freddie-freeman-casey-close

That would be disappointing if it's the Yankees Mets Phillies. Following Elon Musk private jet tail numbers? No ghost flight diverted to Toronto?

Getz? Brady hyping Caleb? DJ Moore almost collapsing? UDFA wr's?

Are you sure about that?

Ooops... https://www.southsidesox.com/chicago-white-sox-commentary-and-analysis/118812/can-the-white-sox-sign-munetaka-murakami Bruce Levine convinced him hahaha. Local media source non verification but just spitballing. "He also cited ESPN’s projected affordable price of five years, $80 million, as why the South Siders could EASILY afford him." So Schoenfield to Duquette to Levine to Feinsand/"Michigan" Merkin.

Give Monangai a chance to run.

Another drop.

Or Phil Rogers' musings even lol. But he's in Texas now.

Need more athleticism in Bears' front. This is embarrassing.

You would think all the sports media companies would have master lists of credible sources above and beyond blue check marks...

Get it done Carlos Rodriguez. Use your Japan connections.

Where's Bruce Levine?

How can MSN pick him up as a high credibility source? It wasn't even linked the story...I had to track down the attributed tweet. When I tried to copy and paste it was blocked by a warning from a South American company lol.

Uh oh. ESPN currently has Lions at 10-7 as first team out of the NFC playoffs/8th.

This is kind of dumb because Song only $13 million 3 years total and replacing Jose Iglesias...would probably play 2nd or 1st. He could also DH but they are right on the CBT luxury tax first boundary level already. Athletics and Phillies out of nowhere lol with Harper/Schwarber already. They would really put him at third and dump Alec Bohm? A's have Kurtz RoY.

MLB: Two American League teams are going all out to sign Munetaka Murakami The Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Angels are emerging as the most aggressive teams in negotiations with Japanese slugger Munetaka Who the hell is insider MoccBomb?????

Need to find Zaccheus more.

Another 3-5 yards and wide right... That was big psychologically.

"Japanese slugger, munetaka Murakami MLB The deadline for contract with the team is approaching. The postponement of the posting is at 5 p.m. east of the U. S. East, and Marquette's trend remains unclear. Murakami from Nippon Professional Baseball MLB It is one of the best flyers who challenge it. During the seventh season, 246 Homer OPS.951 The result of the press roll was left. If you look at these numbers MLB It is clear why the team has been paying attention to Murakami for many years. However, it is pointed out that the number of vibration (good description of a missed Murakami swing though, EMP pulse-like)/strikeouts is a concern. In the last three seasons, the rate of tripling exceeds 28% NPB Higher than the level MLB Considering the pitcher's stance, this figure becomes an anxiety element. Therefore, the team side has become cautious about joining a super large contract, so far there has been no significant rise in the free agent market. At present, the Japanese FA It is highly likely that it will be a condition close to the contract of a total of 90 million dollars of masanao Yoshida rather than Yoshinobu Yamamoto who signed a record $252.5 million contract." Basically numbers are a lot closer to $80-90 million than $180 million plus. Similar to Yoshida deal with Boston, which has been largely a bust due to his defensive shortcomings.

13-1 against the Bears would be nuts for LaFleur... Survived. Minus a trick play.

O'Hearn/Okamoto/Ozuna/Murakami to Pirates? one of four possibilities https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/pirates-hoping-to-add-proven-bat-following-lowe-trade.html

Ohio State should destroy Miami. Georgia/Miss will probably be close. Alabama/Indiana classic David vs. Goliath in reverse. Hopefully Bama gets blown out. Oregon/Texas Tech also looks like it could be good.

Mazara and Eaton reruns great picks. Or Alonso Jay Encarnacion. Or LaRoche/M.Cabrera. Hahn was simply terrible with FAs and the majority of his trades as well. Minor league drafting and development hardly any better.

Joke. Welcome to the 16 team playoff next year with ND guaranteed a spot for being Top 14 and ten spots to B10/SEC.
