My name is Mnataka Murakami.

Call me Mune.

Yes, I'm happy to be in Chicago.

Yes.

That is Mune Taka Murakami, the Japanese slugger,

who the White Sox signed it to a very manageable contract, a two-year deal.

I think Murakami is going to end up being one of the better economic bargains of the entire cycle,

in part because they ought to be able to sell a lot of jerseys.

So think about that.

Are you thinking about it just like for the coffers of the white socks? 100%. Okay, I got you. Yeah, I think it's a terrific investment in that way. And look, if he can make some contact, he's going to hit a lot of bombs and bring some joy, you know? So it should be... Before he becomes a doctor. I was saying, he's going to become a beloved socks player and then walk out the door two years. Maybe they're smart enough to trade him before that. You never know. That would be the... That's what everyone thinks is going to happen. Well, you know, we'll see. Either way, they signed him and landed him, and I think it's going to be kind of cool

to watch him this year.

But that's not why we're talking about Munitok and Murakami.

I love this.

Scott Merkin wrote about it on whitesox.com that one of the things that he asked for from

the White Sox was a bidet.

And that makes sense because in Japanese culture, like, that's a thing.

And I'm glad that he asked for it.

And I'm also glad, quite honestly, that the White Sox were like, yeah, we probably should

have just done this.

It didn't have to be a Japanese player.

Yeah.

For them to be like... Yeah, because the American players are a thrill.
