As the MLB offseason progresses, Tatsuya Imai’s posting deadline on January 2 is drawing attention, with the 27-year-old right-hander expected to sign soon after generating interest from several teams. Meanwhile, Kazuma Okamoto is set to meet with clubs ahead of his own January 4 deadline, with the Pirates being a notable contender. Additionally, the Orioles have re-signed Zach Eflin, who may return by Opening Day, potentially enhancing their rotation, although they might still seek a top-tier starter.
