And the New Year starts with some good news for Houston fans. While all the other teams were fighting over Tatsuya Imai, the Houston Astros have played the role of a silent assassin and have taken the gold at the end. And the Yankees, who have been “watching” him, have now lost out on another big talent. As reported by Jeff Passan, “Star Japanese right-hander Tatsuya Imai and the Houston Astros are in agreement on a free agent contract, sources tell ESPN.” Houston’s quiet strategy has outmaneuvered the Yankees, proving timing beats flashy spending every time. Tatsuya Imai’s signing signals the Astros’ front office isn’t just competent, they’re borderline ruthless. Meanwhile, the Yankees can keep “watching” talent slip, proving observation alone doesn’t win championships. 

The Astros quietly outsmarted Hal Steinbrenner’s Yankees, leaving them watching as Tatsuya Imai slips through their grasp.
