Munetaka Murakami Takes No. 5 as Chicago White Sox Make Signing Official

Chicago made Murakami’s signing official, announcing he’ll wear No. 5, the same number once worn by Juan Uribe. The Japanese slugger joins on a two-year, $34M deal after leading Japan with 56 homers in 2022. In Japan, Murakami was managed by former White Sox closer Shingo Takatsu, adding a familiar organizational link as his MLB chapter begins.
