Japanese star infielder Munetaka Murakami signs three-year deal with Yakult Swallows, per Jon Morosi. The Nippon Professional Baseball product seems destined for a career in the U.S., and his contract has a stipulation that he will be posted as a free agent after the 2025 season. Murakami is only 22 years old but has still taken NPB by storm and has won back-to-back MVP awards.
