Cubs should bring back Shota Imanaga only if…
When Jed said pitching and free agency and trades, when he said trades, I thought the guy from the Twins, Joe Ryan. And when he said free agency, you you think Valdez and Cease. Y and when he talks about help from within, you envision Jackson Wiggins. So, they do have, you know, they do have opportunities here to bolster their starting rotation. No doubt. and the the bullpen will be pieced together and it’ll be uh something we’ll have to just have faith in the fact that they have good have had a good success doing that. Would you be disappointed in the long run if uh Shota came back on a one-year $22 million deal? I’d be fine with that as long as it doesn’t preclude them from going after the the pitchers at the top of the free agent market. I’d be fine with SHA. But but you just put an asterisk on it. There’s Austin as risk on everything. See, I I that’s what I’m trying to This is going to be a great day. If Yeah. If I win the lotto, this is going to be you know it you’re going to enjoy breakfast. If there’s always an if if I find gold bullion somehow. Somehow. Yeah. I I you’re you’re always going to be it’s always going to be contingent about something else. So, if Shoda is back with the Cubs, okay, I don’t want that to be the biggest move to the rotation, addition to the rotation. They could add Shota and trade for Joe Ryan and that would be a nice off season for the for the starting rotation.
David Haugh wouldn’t mind seeing Shota Imanaga return to the Cubs, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the team adding a high-profile pitcher on the market.
