"Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami is going to be posted by the Yakult Swallows of Nippon Professional Baseball, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com."
"It has long been expected that this would be the case, as it was reported three years ago that the plan was for Murakami to make the MLB move after 2025, but this report confirms that Murakami will be a key free agent to watch this winter."
"More to come."
Munetaka Murakami will be posted by the Yakult Swallows of Nippon Professional Baseball and will be available to Major League Baseball teams. The posting decision had been long anticipated and aligns with plans established three years ago that envisaged a move after 2025. Murakami is a power-hitting slugger whose availability will place him among the prominent free agents of the upcoming winter market. The timing creates a major opportunity for MLB clubs seeking middle-of-the-order offense from an established NPB star.
