The ongoing MLB offseason has gone similarly to what everyone expected to it. The latest update on Japanese Shota Imanaga confirms it. Given that, the off-season brought surprises, historic deals, and suspense, it was an event to remember, even being in the run. However, though it answered many questions, one was left: Which team would the Japanese Shota Imanaga sign for? And after a long wait, the answer is here!
The off-season has been all about the Japanese players, especially the pitchers. The 30-year-old ace was also on the list, with multiple teams on the chase. However, he has found his home in Chicago, with the Chicago Cubs getting the nod ahead of the Boston Red Sox, from Imanaga, becoming a team to witness the start of his MLB journey.
The Chicago Cubs have reached a tentative deal with Japanese pitcher Shota Imanaga. He will undergo a physical in Chicago on Thursday before the deal becomes official.
