Chicago White Sox

Finally time for a standalone Murakami thread. Looks like Santa is coming early this year boys!

Why is Pritzker a clown?

?

Oh we so fucking back!

Getz said he wants a LF corner infielder though.

I’m not worried. James is a great dude with legit info, but I’m confident in my analysis of the situation.

Oh f***…dude has a blue check mark which means auto legit

Murakami to White Sox confirmed!

I find it hard to believe they could afford Murakami at a $20M+ AAV after spending $11.5M on Lowe. They’d be approaching in salary after being at $85M last year.

For those wondering what trade https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/astros-pirates-rays-discussing-three-team-trade-potentially-sending-brandon-lowe-to-pittsburgh-mike-burrows-to-houston.html

Let’s hope so because if any club would have meaningful dollars laying around, it’s probably the White Sox.

Murakami could come out today for sure.

Hopefully that’s all of us come Monday!

Yes, probably on his way to O’Hare as we speak.

Has to be signed by Monday.

How did the Mets have this much space available?

Per Ken Rosenthal:

In all honesty, this probably is just insurance in the event they move Robert. This kid cost nothing but an immaterial amount of money and has options. I don’t think this prevents us from adding a corner OF.

You think he’s going to get a $17M AAV now or better?

Who is he offering a promotion to?

@Y2Jimmy0 - What you hearing on the free agent and trade front for the Sox?

I feel like once you burn Bannister or are deemed difficult to work with, you probably aren’t coming back as a pitcher to this org.

It is, but I do actually believe we could be surprise suitors for Murakami.

That’s called trolling my friend! Just trying to add some energy to board!
