1 min agoJapanese first baseman Munetaka Murakami re-signed with the Yakult Swallows of Nippon Professional Baseball for the 2025 season but said that will be his final season in Japan. Murakami will be a popular international free-agent target next offseason. His production has slowed in recent seasons, but he's still been one of the best hitters in Japan. Back in 2022, he hit 56 home runs with a 1.168 OPS. This past season, he slashed .244/.379/.472 with 33 round-trippers for the Swallows. Munetaka swings from the left side of the plate. Since he has not accrued nine years of service in Japan, he will need to be posted by the Swallows in order to pursue an opportunity in MLB next offseason. He will not be subject to international bonus pool restrictions when he is posted, though, since he's set to turn 25 years old this coming February.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
