1. Buster needs to back up the Brinks truck

2. JHL was born in Japan 🙁 /s

3. hopefully we will get him

   

4. I don’t any of the front office is here, but if you are imagine Jersey sales for imai if you sign him. It would be good for business

5. I’m skeptical of him being successful here. He’s small (like Timmy). But a 3.15era in Japan. He’s 27. He may me gassed in 3-4 years (like Timmy).

6. He could also be angling for the Padres.

7. So far these Japanese players seem to want to play together and make things as easy as possible. I don’t buy it.

8. Also said he wants to be part of taking down the Dodgers, gotta love him for that.

9. Translation: increase my Dodgers offer by 30% please.

10. Unfortunately I am falling for it again. Make him a Giant NOW

11. This will be our 2026 Arsen Judge moment

12. Imai God everything he is saying is absolutely music to my ears.

13. He comes across as a man of honor… unlike Roki Sasaki who’s a little bitch that just wants to follow the leader

15. Any Japanese player will make their contract back in merch sales, get him.

16. Imaybeai

17. I love him already, unless he says this and ends up on the dodgers. Then I’d probably dislike him more than any other dodger

18. He’s also got the Lincecum long hair!

19. Here’s the full interview in Japanese. If you need translations, just click captions and auto translate. Starts around 2:00 mark. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhD1_iblaoU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhD1_iblaoU)

20. Solid. Let’s go. Sign this badass and let’s get weird
