The White Sox are reportedly PURSUING Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai in another bold free agent MOVE

Chicago White Sox ignite the international market, pushing to sign Japanese pitching sensation Tatsuya Imai after landing Munetaka Murakami. Could bold short-term deals for top Japanese stars change the South Siders’ trajectory? Host Todd Welter analyzes the White Sox’s aggressive moves, breaking down Imai’s electric arsenal—drawing comparisons to Luis Castillo and Max Scherzer—and what his arrival could mean for the rotation. The discussion highlights the stubborn ownership’s reluctance to spend, the franchise’s status as the only MLB club yet to break the $80 million threshold, and fan reactions to the possible decisions regarding Yoán Moncada and Miguel Vargas. Key topics include future investments in Colson Montgomery, the business case for opening the pipeline to Japanese talent, and whether Chicago will finally pay to keep its homegrown stars.
