Munetaka Murakami Set to Shatter Posting Record

Yakult slugger Murakami, 25, is expected to command up to $200 million via posting this offseason. Mets, Yankees, Phillies, and Mariners lead suitors. The 2022 Triple Crown winner hit 56 homers and, despite injuries in 2025, posted .273 with 22 HR in 56 games. The posting fee to Yakult could reach about $32 million. A bidding war looms soon.
