Could White Sox be involved in “mystery” pursuit of Japanese star?

As MLB teams continue to scour the market for upgrades, the White Sox are no exception. The team has spent the early part of the offseason exploring upgrades to first base, outfield, the starting rotation, and the bullpen, but so far hasn’t converted aside from the signing of lefty Anthony Kay. The market for first basemen is beginning to move, with Pete Alonso, Jorge Polanco, and Josh Bell coming off the board in the past several days. One name that’s been surprisingly quiet on the free agent market is that of Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami.
