Phillies Eye $200M Star Munetaka Murakami as Kyle Schwarber Replacement

The Phillies are reportedly pursuing Yakult Swallows slugger Murakami, who hit 56 homers in 2022, as a $200 million option if Schwarber departs. MLB’s Mark Feinsand says the 25-year-old could be posted this offseason, drawing interest from the Yankees, Mets, and Mariners. Philadelphia may move Harper back to the outfield or trade Bohm to fit Murakami’s bat.
