The Houston Astros shocked, well, pretty much everyone after they landed Tatsuya Imai on a three-year deal. Long thought to be poised to get a nine figure deal from one of the big market teams, Imai instead bet on himself with a short-term deal when the megadeal he wanted didn't materialize (for now). The Astros were happy to step in and offer the opt-out laden contract he wanted and the upset was complete.
We already knew the terms of Imai's deal and that it was a done deal, but what wasn't know was what roster move the Astros would make to make room for him.
