"I mean, to be honest, it's no different than any other starting pitcher out there, where they all want to take us down. I haven't looked into this guy at all. I don't know what his stuff is. I'm sure he's amazing, as we've seen a lot of the Japanese pitchers that have come over have been extremely good, with the guys on our staff,"
"So I'm sure he's very, very talented and very good. Every pitcher that's not on our team is saying the same thing. They want to take us down, they want to be the one to beat us. That's what makes it fun to play for the Dodgers. You're going to get everyone's best every single night."
Max Muncy will return to the Los Angeles Dodgers for the 2026 season after the team picked up his club option. Top Japanese free agent Tatsuya Imai has been posted and noted interest in joining the Dodgers' roster and their Japanese stars Roki Sasaki, Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, while expressing a desire to 'take down' the Dodgers dynasty. Muncy responded by saying every opposing starter wants to beat the Dodgers, praising the quality of Japanese pitchers and noting that being champions means facing opponents' best performances nightly. Intense matchups are expected in 2026.
