Imai, who is Mark Feinsand’s No. 11 free agent this year, recorded a 1.92 ERA over 163 2/3 innings this season for the Lions. He struck out 178 batters, walked 45 and allowed only six home runs. Some of his 2025 highlights include throwing the first eight innings of a combined no-hitter and striking out 17 batters in a two-hit, complete-game shutout.

The Giants are reportedly the front runners for the Japanese star pitcher.

What are your thoughts on where he could sign?

  7. This can’t possibly happen but if he ends up a Dodger you going to be really that surprised? Hey maybe he wants to forge his own path and go to the Yankees or go to the Mariners or some surprise team from nowhere not sure why you’d want to go to the Giants and compete against the Dodgers but feel free who knows

  15. Mariners are returning their entire rotation…..but this guy might fit in somewhere.

  17. It’s gotten to the point where I’d rather see this guy compete against my team in the AL East then seeing him go to the Dodgers.

  23. **Ichiro** (my favorite player of all time) needs to bring more Asian players to the Mariners!!!

    Shohei and the Dodgers are hogging ‘em all!! 🤣😭
