Building on the initial report of Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami's two-year, $34 million agreement with the Chicago White Sox (including a $6.5 million posting fee to the Yakult Swallows), new details highlight his role in the rebuild alongside prospects like Colson Montgomery. The 25-year-old power hitter, fresh off NPB stardom, faces strikeout and defense hurdles but could re-enter free agency at 28 after proving himself.
Chicago White Sox completed the signing of Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami to a two-year, $34 million contract just before the 5 p.m. ET Monday deadline, as previously reported. The move bolsters their rebuilding lineup with power potential, prompting trade talks involving outfielder Luis Robert for pitching depth.
