Tatsuya Imai, a 27-year-old right-hander posted by Japan's Saitama Seibu Lions, has expressed a desire to join a team that can compete against the Los Angeles Dodgers rather than signing with them. In an interview, Imai highlighted the appeal of beating the Dodgers' Japanese stars Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki to win a World Series. MLB insider Jon Morosi suggested the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, or San Francisco Giants as ideal landing spots to fulfill that ambition.
The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched back-to-back World Series titles with a 5-4, 11-inning victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7. Japanese stars Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto played pivotal roles, with Yamamoto earning series MVP honors. Celebrations erupted across Japan, particularly in Tokyo.
