I imagine they have to be getting close to “put your final offers in now” so Murakami has a chance to weigh them. Or do we think this is all being done by US based agents in a U.S. time zone? You’ll probably hear about an agreement about a day before (tomorrow) before it’s finalized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he has a US agent and my guess is everything is being done in US time, although when you are at this stage in the process talks can happen at all hours of the day. That being said, I assume a formal decision will be made by tomorrow, so final offers are likely already in to your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted Sunday at 04:47 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:47 AM (edited) 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 Edited Sunday at 04:49 AM by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted Sunday at 04:52 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:52 AM The Mets scare me. I know they brought in Polanco, but it feels like they still have a big hole at 1B after Alonso left. Can’t rule out the Angels either. Or possibly the Mariners. Just hoping for the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted Sunday at 04:53 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:53 AM (edited) "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..."

caulfield12 Posted Sunday at 05:10 AM Share Posted Sunday at 05:10 AM Imai has Boras as his agent, so there's just no way they're a package deal with Murakami... Cubs also seem to have no interest in getting involved with Boras clients this FA period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
