[ねこすけ] “I want to take them down. Playing together with players like Ohtani, Yamamoto, Sasaki, and others of course sounds fun, but I think beating a team like that and becoming world champions would be the most valuable thing in my life.” – Tatsuya Imai

1. Hell yeah. With Imai, I’m sure we can beat them off

   Q: Batter you’d like to face in a major league matchup

   Tatsuya Imai : “It’s Ohtani Shohei, after all. I really want to test how far my fastball can go against him, or rather, I have a strong desire to pitch against Ohtani Shohei.”

3. I’d still take him signing with the Dodgers over the field.

   Reasons for Wanting a Team Without Japanese Members

   Tatsuya Imai: “(If there were Japanese people) they’d just tell you anything if you asked, right? I don’t really want that; in a way, I want to experience that survival vibe, you know, and when facing cultural differences, making how I overcome them on my own one of the fun parts.”

7. I’m not getting excited. We’ve done this song and dance for 5 years.

10. This guy seems cool but I’m just not getting my hopes up with any of these guys right now.

11. Until I hear that AJ had a one on one meeting with Imai and this ownership proves they still give two shits about the team, he’s a Giant or a Blue Jay

12. We’re not getting him. Or any Japanese player.

    Give it up or this’ll be another roki sasaki situation.

13. Haha 😆 the Dodgers definitely picking him up now

14. i believe, disappointment is fundamental to the human experience. Regardless of what the odds are i have faith in getting a big free agents
