Yoshinobu Yamamoto's Dodgers success could be elephant in the room with Tatsuya Imai

Japanese free agent Tatsuya Imai's market has been strangely quiet. He's been meeting with teams in LA and has been connected to the Cubs, Phillies, Mets, and Yankees, among others, but he admitted over the weekend that there aren't any concrete possibilities yet. His posting window closes on Jan. 2, and teams usually prefer to get a deal done a few days before to leave time to complete a physical.

Imai has far fewer accolades than the last two major pitchers to come over from NPB — the Dodgers' own Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki — but he's still has an impressive resumé.
