Part 2/11:
The Cubs have been building a strong pipeline of Japanese talent, notably with players like Seiya Suzuki and Imanaga, who had more success with the team two seasons ago. The team's strategy seems to involve leveraging their existing Japanese connections and pipeline, which could make Amayi a seamless addition both culturally and strategically. While Amayi might not care much about team affiliations, there’s a sense that he has a favorable view of the Cubs and isn’t particularly keen on joining the Dodgers.
