MLB.com's 'bold prediction' for Dodgers might not actually be so far-fetched

Munetaka Murakami, Kazuma Okamoto, and Tatsuya Imai are the three big Japanese free agents coming over to MLB this offseason. All have officially been posted, opening up 45-day windows to sign with a major league team. Murakami's closes first at 2 PM PST on Dec. 22.

The Dodgers, inevitably, have been linked to all of them, even if most of the links have simply been in the vein of, "The Dodgers have a lot of Japanese players; it makes sense that they would get more."

Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com, however, is unconvinced it's as inevitable as some might think.
