ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that Japanese RHP Tatsuya Imai "could easily wind up the highest-paid starter this winter."According to Passan, Imai, Framber Valdez, and Dylan Cease are likely to command the biggest offers on the free agent market. However, Imai is only 27 years old and is viewed by some organizations as similar to Yoshinobu Yamamoto, given their stature, upper-90s fastballs, and deep pitch mixes. Passan also notes that some teams are "just not in on him" for whatever reason, but Imai's market figures to be a strong one this offseason.
