Tatsuya Imai Leans on Scott Boras Amid Fading Yankees Hopes and Deepening Phillies Buzz
Tatsuya Imai relies on Boras as Yankees lose momentum, while Phillies gain attention in a closing, high-stakes market. Japanese pitcher Tatsuya Imai's future in the MLB is uncertain as he faces major hurdles such as signing with major league teams. The New York Yankees, New York Mets, and Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly among the potential candidates. Imai posted with the Seibu Lions on November 18, giving teams until January 2 to negotiate a deal. Despite posting a 1.92 ERA with 178 strikeouts over 163 innings in 2025, Imai has a career 3.15 ERA in 963⅔ innings across eight NPB seasons. His agent, Scott Boras, has taken a more active role in driving negotiations with interested teams, emphasizing ongoing discussions and assisting with Imai’s request for a trainer and interpreter. The potential $150 million six-year deal reflects Ima's performance and the market’�s need for a proven, durable starter.
