Chicago Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga, an All-Star selection, is being predicted to depart the team for a National League rival in a deal worth approximately $34 million, according to recent reports.
The Japanese pitcher, who delivered a start against the Boston Red Sox at Tropicana Field on September 27, 2026, has drawn interest from multiple clubs as he approaches free agency.
While no official agreement has been announced, the projected $34 million contract would represent a significant investment for the acquiring team.
