The SF Giants have been seen as natural suitors for Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai by many in the baseball industry, but one insider has just confirmed what many Giants fans already knew about a potential pursuit of Imai.
Buster Olney of ESPN took to social media to report the following about the Giants and Imai. He writes: "The Giants have been repeatedly linked to Tatsuyi Imai, the premier free agent pitcher from Japan. But a lot of their market pitching inquiries have been for more modestly priced arms -- a strong indication they aren't chasing the highest priced pitchers, like Imai.
