The Los Angeles Dodgers are the bane of every baseball fan's existence besides their own, and it appears that negative attitude is starting to spread to the players themselves.
Tatsuya Imai is one of the three premier Japanese free agents on the board this winter, alongside Munetaka Murakami and Kazuma Okamoto. He may be the most likely San Diego Padres target given their robust need for starting pitching and Murakami's glaring red flags.
Even if he doesn't come to the Friars, though, he's surely gained the respect of all Padres fans with his definitive stance on not joining the Dodgers.
