Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that MLB informed teams on Tuesday that right-hander Tatsuya Imai of the Saitama Seibu Lions has been posted. The negotiating window starts on Wednesday at 8 am ET and closes on Jan. 2 at 5 pm ET. Imai will generate plenty of interest around the league this winter, with the New York Yankees and New York Mets already being rumored to have interest in him. The 27-year-old has had an ERA of 2.34 or lower in three straight years in Japan, including a stingy 1.92 mark in 2025. His strikeout rate has risen in each of the last three seasons as well, with his walk rate also dropping each year over that span. Imai is expected to land a deal north of $150 million as he heads from Japan to the U.S. this year. He had 178 strikeouts and 45 walks in 163 2/3 innings for the Lions this past season, in addition to his 1.92 ERA.--Keith Hernandez
