Passan noted that some teams made longer-term contract offers at a lower AAV to try to get him on a steal of a contract but Murakami is banking on himself to perform and sign and large deal at age 28.

Good point. $17 million on potential is better than that same money spread amongst bum veterans.

It was pointing out why his salary was so low compared to the $80+ million estimates. $34 million is way under the expectations.

No arbitration. True UFA.

Per NBC Sports: ”The White Sox are signing Munetaka Murakami to a two-year, $34 million contract. Well, this is pretty clear confirmation that no team was especially high on Murakami. The 2022 Central League MVP is just 25 (26 in February) and he’s coming off a season in which he hit .273/.379/.663, but his soaring strikeout rate and questions about his defense scared off much of MLB. The White Sox really have nothing to lose here. They’ll probably plug him in at first base, with Miguel Vargas sticking at third. If he thrives, he’ll be great trade bait in July or potentially a key figure on a team that might be ready to compete in 2027.”

Straight free agent apparently.

@Chicago White Sox is the man and Getz is God. 🤣 But it sure looks like the market was less than enthused with this guy for whatever reason. That is definitely not the contract that was expected. Sucks that there is no arbitration after the first two years and he just becomes a free agent again.

The Phillies #3 and #4 prospects? 🤣. Matt Davis needs to lay off the pipe. “Realistically”? No, not at all.

I never s%*# on you and if a game dictates your mood to this extent, you should look into another hobby.

I agree. So calm the f*** down.

Whatever bro. Keep living those wet dreams. 🤣 It’s a huge win but enjoy the Matrix.

Yeah cuz they always lose to the Packers. Luckily, Love and Parsons both got injured. Anything else, jabroni?

Agreed.

I just nutted.

Wow, I just nutted.

That’s crazy.

Personal attack. Suspend yourself. Thanks.

You better tell @MexSoxFan#1.

They will get creamed in the playoffs. Are you not paying attention?

Cue the video of Ben Johnson talking s%*# about beating LaFleur twice. Jabroni…

Same old Bears. 🥱

I’ve been consistent. The Sox won’t be signing Murakami at all because Jerry is cheap. Look at all the acquisitions thus far. Kay is probably going to be the largest contract handed out this offseason. But I’m not going to praise acquisitions like Hill, Murphy, Pereira, Peters, and Kay. Let’s be honest — these are acquisitions that a garbage team makes. Period. The end.

The other problem with the last rebuild is that they finally had a competitive team but went cheap in free agency and didn’t bolster the team with top tier free agents. The same thing is going to happen again unless Ishbia takes over the team in 2029 and spends money.

Or maybe your gimmick is known by numerous posters here now, just as I stated.

This classic scene describes WestEddy to the T. Talks on both sides of his mouth so he can defend any decision that his lord and master Getzie makes.
