No organization in MLB is better at figuring out how to get the most out of pitchers than the Astros. Ask Kikuchi
Great get by Houston, he slides into Framber's place (hopefully), and Imai get's a couple extra tries at free agency. If Imai is even 75% of his NPB numbers, this is a great value for the Astro's to keep adding pieces and challenge Seattle for that top west spot.
the orioles were not in on him because they need a proven 1, a Saurez or Valdez
I have lost all respect for him! Signs with a cheater club. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT IT BEING YEARS AGO! As long as Altuve is still on the team they should not be allowed in the postseason ever!
Didn’t expect the shoutout but thanks boys, it’s always the best when y’all pop up
Isn't a backwards slider a screwball?
no way trey yesavage mentioned
You guys should tag your Mets channel here to so it posts for both subscriber groups
BRO i actually thought he was serious when he said he wanted to beat the dodgers instead of joining them. But then he joins the Bucket Boys???? Funny stuff.
You aren’t a giraff😢. You just have a longer-than-average human neck. That’s why people make jokes. I really don’t get it.
as a star wars nerd hearing marc butcher palpatine hurt but i’ll learn to forgive
Why have you guys been edging us with that Met’sd Up video just sitting there for two days
If I comes down to the Astros breaking the Dodgers streak, I’ll be fine with it

Imai’s ballpark in Japan is probably closer to an outdoor stadium- it has a roof but no AC and the conditions are probably wilder than an outdoor stadium. I do see some upside there
The Senate knows ball.
Cubs are dumb AF and their ownership really is laundering $ was my reaction lol
How much did you think he was going to get lmao stfu. Could be 20m a yr.He's gone after 1 tho
overhyped
As a Giants fan, I am peeeeeved off…
Thats a big concern if hardly any teams were interested in him.
Steal for the Astros
What happened to his teammate on the lions they said he was posted I guess no one wants him either
Wanted Imai but understand the question marks.
Also Ik we’ve been linked to Framber but I’m ngl. I’d rather pay Ranger Suarez 3/81 than Framber 3/100. I don’t think either of them would be an ace the Mets need and I’d rather save the ace money for Skubal next year
No offence intended guys, but unless the Mets get 2 big guns, they ain't in the postseason in 26. They probably will get 2 new good ones though.
While Sox deserved this guy. F the cheater astros!
Feels like dauri moreta erasure
Lindor is a bum
I was hoping to hear your take on how this impacts the deals still yet to be made with guys like Valdez, Suarez, and Gallen.
Good thing is Imai doesn't have to be a number 1 since they have Hunter Brown as their ace. They should make him a number 4 or 5 starter to start him in MLB.
I was lurking over at the Cubs forums. Man, are they butthurt. They were sure Imai was going to sign with them,
Baseball is so weird.
Imai said he wanted to "beat" the Dodgers, and New York fans instantly started drooling like it was a done deal with the Mets or Yankees 💀. Bro didn’t say he wanted to spend 162 games getting booed by his own fans while paying state taxes that hit harder than deGrom’s fastball. Being a Yankee ain’t the dream anymore — it’s community service. And the Mets? Please. That’s not a flex, that’s a cry for help lol😂…
Thats emperor sheev palpating to you
Astros are still contenders. They were ravaged by injuries all year and were holding down the AL West for a while but the injuries kept stacking up
Glad y’all still call it Minute Maid lmao
Doesn't he have opt-outs after every season? Surprised you guys didn't mention that.
Do the Mets not already have a number of pictures who have a range of outcomes similar to Imai's? It's not a certainty at all that this guy is a valid middle of the rotation starter in MLB, I can understand why teams looking for more certainty in their rotation stayed out of this one but we'll see.
