Think Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the only pitcher coming from Japan in search of a nine-figure contract in Major League Baseball this winter? Think again.
There's also Shu014dta Imanaga.
Though he's nowhere near as hyped as his right-handed teammate from this year's World Baseball Classic, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported on Dec. 1 that the left-handed Imanaga has a strong enough market to possibly command as much as a $100 million contract.
As for who this guy is, why his value is that high and where he might fit in MLB, all these questions deserve deeper dives.
