Japanese star Tatsuya Imai reveals where his MLB status stands with signing deadline days away
NY Post
With his posting window closing in a few days, Tatsuya Imai has little clarity on his MLB future.
During a recent interview with a Japanese outlet, Imai – who is in the United States to meet with interested teams ahead of his Jan. 2 deadline – talked about the process of trying to sign with an MLB team. He is meeting with clubs via Zoom.
“Apparently, there actually aren’t many concrete options on the table yet,” Imai said on TV Asahi’s “Udo Times” program, according to a translated X post by @NekoSuke5_5_2. “And it seems that having teams show interest and receiving a formal offer are completely different things.”
It’s unclear what level of offers Imai has received.
Imai, 27, was also shown shopping at a Los Angeles supermarket during the segment — and was stunned by the price of groceries in America.
