The Munetaka Murakami posting process is happening in earnest and that means interest from teams is starting to get leaked. One team that looks like they’re at the forefront of the chase is the Phillies.
I’ve already written about how I believe the Phillies should be avoiding Murakami, so I’ll reiterate my stance: Phillies, move on.
Sign Tatsuya Imai if nabbing a Japanese player is your main objective since the team has shown they can work with pitchers much better than hitters.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- If the Phillies are going to be major players for players coming from Japan, these are three players they should be talking about.
- During the GM meetings in Las Vegas, the outfield was a big topic of conversation. It’s probably the topic during this offseason.
MLB news:
- The GM meetings are now over, so let’s see what, if anything, we learned about all 30 teams in MLB. Little nuggets abound here.
- Usually, I try and stay away from who should and should not be in the Hall of Fame outside of Dick Allen. But this is a good read about Andruw Jones.
- Dustin May is pretty much fully back to health with his right elbow. Might be a good buy low candidate for someone.
