Phillies linked to Munetaka Murakami as the club continues its hunt for outfield upgrades, drawing comparisons from analysts to Andruw Jones’ impact in his prime. DD

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.

“Munetaka Murakami, who officially submitted his posting application on the 8th, has already been approached by several teams. One team that is particularly keen on him is the Phillies.” -Nikkan Sports

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.
