Munetaka Murakami (3B - CWS)
5/18/26 12:49 PM - Munetaka Murakami looks right at home with young Chicago White Sox. Munetaka Murakami wasn’t supposed to end up with the Chicago White Sox. But it’s working out quite well at the moment. Murakami has fit right in with a promising group of young position players in Chicago, and they have been mashing the ball so far this season. Murakami has an AL-leading 17 homers and a team-high 32 RBIs through Sunday’s action, and the surprising White Sox are tied for second in the majors with 66 homers overall. Murakami entered MLB’s posting system in November. When the market was lighter than expected, the White Sox signed the slugger to a $34 million, two-year contract in December.
