And there likely won’t be at 2-years and $36 million remaining. He’s their version of Benintendi.

$90 million wasn’t a very good price for him but he is a pretty good hitter. He would probably be starting for many teams.

That’s a bit ridiculous. He is about $40 million after the posting fee. That isn’t much money/risk to a team like the Red Sox.

Does anyone have more details or an article on how he was horrible against fastballs at 93+ MPH?

I hope Getz doesn’t waste money on fluky bullpen arms and save it for the rest of your list.

But he’s right.

White Sox released OF Zach DeLoach.

Perhaps the highest AAV. Passan said that other teams tried to sign him to larger overall contracts with a lower annual salary.

Probably freeing up the money to pay for Murakami. Probably looking for an outfielder as well.

I don’t think Fairbanks will be worth the money get gets. Would rather put that money toward another starter.

It might not be for too long though, once the draft comes and someone gets some time in the minors.

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.
