前大联盟总管Jim Bowden预测的FA合约价码
https://reurl.cc/eVv9Z7
9.Tatsuya Imai, RHP
今井达也
Age: 27
2025 team: Saitama Seibu Lions (Nippon Professional Baseball)
Agent: Boras Corp.
Imai is an undersized (listed at 5-foot-11, 154 pounds) right-handed starter for
the Saitama Seibu Lions who is expected to be posted this offseason. He sits in
the mid-90s with his fastball but can reach the high-90s when he needs it. His
best secondary pitch is a wipeout slider and he mixes in a changeup, splitter, c
urveball and sinker. A two-time All-Star in Japan, Imai posted a 1.92 ERA in 163
2/3 innings this season. Despite his slight build, he’s been durable and profi
les in MLB as a mid-rotation innings-eater who can keep hitters guessing.
Best team fits: Mets, Giants, Red Sox, Cubs, Orioles, Astros, Padres
预测合约: 7-years, $154 million
12. Munetaka Murakami, 1B/3B
村上宗隆
Age: 25
Bats: L Throws: R
2025 team: Tokyo Yakult Swallows (Nippon Professional Baseball)
Agent: Excel Sports Management
Murakami will be posted by his NPB club this offseason. The slugging corner infi
elder underwent arthroscopic elbow surgery and also had an oblique injury this y
ear, but still hit .286/.392/.659 with 24 homers in 69 games. Despite these phys
ical setbacks, he is expected to be sought-after in free agency, although his in
jury history could affect how teams evaluate his worth. He profiles as a .240 to
.260 type of hitter in MLB with legitimate 30-home run power. Defensively, he’
s below average at third base and just adequate at first base. Despite the misse
d time this year, he has still averaged more than 30 homers a season in Japan an
d he has a .394 career OBP. At 25, he’s just entering his prime years.

18. Kazuma Okamoto, 1B
冈本和真
Age: 29
Bats: R Throws: R
2025 team: Yomiuri Giants (Nippon Professional Baseball)
Okamoto is a 29-year-old corner infielder and a six-time All-Star in Japan who w
ill be posted this offseason by the Yomiuri Giants. In 77 games this season for
Yomiuri, the right-handed hitter slashed .322/.411/.581 with 15 home runs but wa
s limited by a left elbow injury that cost him roughly three months of the seaso
n. Okamoto has played both infield corners, but most MLB evaluators believe that
first base is his best position. He’s a big power bat who has led the league i
n homers three times and hit a career-high 41 in 2023. He has terrific hand-eye
coordination and solid contact skills to go along with the power. Murakami has m
ore raw power than Okamoto — who is four years older — but Okamoto has proven
to be more consistent at the plate.
