The Angels have created a lot of payroll this flexibility this offseason, leading to expectations among the fan base (and insiders as well) that the team is going to be in the mix for some of the biggest free agents this offseason. Buying out Anthony Rendon is a move that gives the team upwards of $60 million if they match recent Opening Day payrolls, and the team may be looking internationally for reinforcements. The team was one of the MLB organizations to send a scout to look at third baseman Kazuma Okamoto, and apparently have a connection to the biggest fish in the international pond this offseason.
Could Angels reported connection to Tatsuya Imai land the ace in Anaheim?
