The Mariners, Angels, and Red Sox have all been said to be interested in acquiring Murakami. It is not uncommon for a last-minute contract to be signed, and if no agreement is reached by the deadline, he will remain with the Yakult Swallows.

This off season been boring as shit. Someone do something!
Hopefully we can get him on a shorter term deal, worth it for the upside.
Perry, the only good free agent you have signed that made significant impact are Kikuchi and Jansen. You better pull this off, his offense can change our team and better our relationship with Japanese born players.
Some troll account posted on X that an Angels deal was set to be announced tomorrow.
Really hope the Angels sign this dude. I want something to be hopeful about this season and his upside being a 40-hr masher is enough for me.
