The #1 pitcher on the market in this free agent class. Only 27 and wants to face the best in the world.

Tatsuya wants to prove hes better than Ohtani and Yamamoto. This guy wants all the smoke💨 This is the kind of ambition and fire that this mets rotation needs.
Go get him. Maybe the best pitcher in free agency and no QO attached
Can’t wait for his deferred contract for the dodgers.
A reason to face the best is reason for us to get him. He’ll love going against the dodgers for us
Congrats to the dodgers on their new pitcher
Mets should be all in here.
has until Jan. 2 to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers
I think Imanaga and Imai both end up Giants.
Is his number (40, 48?) available with the Dodgers?
We already know where he is going.Â
10-5 with a 1.92 era this past season…I used to love a Met with numbers like that.
I still do, but I used to, too.
“face the best” aka join the best
We’re really gonna do this in the sub, eh? Okay, I’ll play…
He’s NOT coming *HERE*.
He is not a dodger, fit doesn’t work.
I’m not even getting my hopes up this time… Whatever will be, will be.
I watched him play for the Seibu Lions. He’s absolutely electric, and I can’t stress enough how important it is that we go ALL IN for this guy.

Mets will outbid anyone if he’s their guy
