Dodgers Notes: Japanese Star Doesn't Want to Join LA, Cody Bellinger Open to Returning, Dave Roberts Anniversary
""I want to beat them," Imai said. "Beating a team like that and becoming world champions would be the most valuable thing in my life.""
""I think Cody had a great, great experience here. Rookie of the Year. MVP. And he was Hollywood ringing while he was here so I think that players who have those kinds of experiences over the years are always very welcoming of anywhere like that," Boras said."
""They have tremendous resources and they've gotten the job done.""
The Dodgers signed Japan's top international free agent pitcher in each of the last two seasons, but 2025 target Tatsuya Imai expressed a desire to beat the Dodgers rather than join them. The organization may shift focus from pitching to outfield upgrades, with Cody Bellinger identified as a top candidate and his agent, Scott Boras, acknowledging a possible return given Bellinger's successful history in Los Angeles. Manager Dave Roberts reached a 10-year milestone leading the team and has been part of three World Series titles in the past six seasons. Rival executives note the Dodgers' strong resources and sustained success.
