White Sox Sign Japanese Slugger Munetaka Murakami to $34 Million Deal
Munetaka Murakami, a top NPB slugger, is nearing the end of his posting window with interest from MLB teams like the White Sox and Red Sox, though his market has been quieter than expected due to concerns over his contact rates and adaptation risks. The White Sox are considering a long-term or short-term deal, especially given their less competitive outlook, while the Red Sox are more reserved, possibly preferring to pursue other options like Kazuma Okamoto.
