by Adam King is saying the Yankees are the clear favorites to land Japan’s two biggest stars — Munetaka Murakami and Tatsuya Imai. The talks are real, the interest is real, and the Bronx could soon be home to Japan’s best power bat and a filthy young arm ready to slide right into the rotation.
Murakami is a 25-year-old lefty slugger who crushed 55 homers in Japan. Mai’s a 27-year-old ace with nasty stuff who could be the perfect No. 5 behind Cole and Fried. Add those two, and the Yankees go from contender to flat-out dangerous.
Adam breaks down what’s real and what’s fake in this offseason rumor storm — from Bob Nightengale’s trade list to Yankees targets like Cody Bellinger and bullpen help. The message? Ignore the noise. The Yankees are about to make noise of their own.
Watch the full video above, drop a comment, and tell us — would you rather have Murakami, Mai, or both?
