Murakami is currently in New York right now and to mark the occasion has created a TikTok account. He has less than 48 hours to decide on an MLB club or else he must go back to Japan.

  2. Have to wonder if he’s unrealistic in his ask or if teams are that worried about his defense. Or both. But there are certainly worse players getting contracts…

  5. That’s a long drive from New York to Pittsburgh every home game, but he can do him.

  9. I speak Japanese and he is definitely saying he is going to give 5% of his salary to the Braves Foundation. Welcome to the A!

  10. I was in the Swallows fan shop last week and I really hope he signs with someone or else those “Good luck” bobbleheads they had aren’t going to look good.

  12. Bro, finally SOME type of rumour about him, we haven’t heard a single peep from his posting and then, he just randomly pops up in New York lmao

  13. I wanted this to say that we had 48 hours to find him and he’d sign with whomever’s team that did.

  21. Doesn’t seem like something that someone who’s about to be forced onto a plane back to Japan would do.

  27. whats up with the hissing after every word??? is he trying to be a snek? maybe diamondbacks?

  28. I guess he is confident that he will be signed by the deadline. But, we Yakult fans will gladly keep him for another year if he doesn’t get signed. He will always and forever belong with us.
