Shota Imanaga has accepted the Cubs' $22.025 million qualifying offer.
Fantasy Impact
The Cubs declined a three-year, $57.75 million option for Imanaga, but the lefty will return to the Cubs for one more year. He'll look to bounce back after a rough end to the 2025 season, but should remain a fixture in the Cubs' rotation.
