This paragraph from the article on The Athletic announcing he accepted the qualifying offer sounds like it was written by AI:
With a few slight adjustments in 2026, Imanaga could still deliver top-of-the-rotation upside. His unique skills and overall body of work (24-11, 3.28 ERA in 54 major-league starts) remain highly valued. When he’s locked in, his flair for pitching adds to the fans’ experience at Wrigley Field and gives people a reason to watch Cubs games on TV.
