Just found out about this guy about 3 minutes ago. But this is what the G’s need….Apparently he’s unavailable until 2025 cause he’s in a contract with the Swallows…

Slugging Japanese 3rd baseman is where I’m putting all my focus into going forward….I think we need to start a campaign to get this man to say he’s either playing for the G’s or he’s staying in Japan…



Let’s not go sending pics of the cemetery across the street from the ballpark to him….
 
Lets help the Gs get this done and start crowdsourcing his contract now. Gives us 3 years to save up the money to bring him to the Gs. Some ideas:

Turn the beneficiary of the GameDay 50/50 raffle into the Munetaka Murakami fund instead the charity thing.

Add a 'Munetaka Murakami' tax for parking at the team garage. If fans know it is to bring in the Japanese Miggy Cabrera they will happily shell over.

Start up a moving company that caters to Browns coaches, current and former. Should make a killing in next couple years before Murakami gets here.

Start up a Guardians cryptocurrency. Even easier than printing money.

Start up a sportsbook specifically for betting on the Hotdog Race, since this is now legal in Ohio.

Any other ideas? Time for the fans in this city to quit killing their teams like they do the Browns and find a way to get a transcendent talent here in Cleveland.
 
I know Slyman’s closes at 2:30. But I’d petition them to stay open till 3:00 for Munetaka Murakami…. Assuming of course he’s a big corned beef guy….
 
@PIP

Can we proclaim him as Cleveland's next Jim Thome... Power hitting from the left side and likely going to have to transition to 1B...

Honestly, from the numbers, he should be able to transition to the MLB level no issue... I think he ends up at 1B in MLB and sincerely signing him makes a ton of sense on paper! PIP get these fund raisers organized even if we gotta sell the parking garage, we gotta get him here!

I'm partial to that right fielder for the Kagawa Olive Guyners. You know the one.

San Diego is still paying his full salary. Only thing Hosmer was taking up in Boston was a roster spot. So it's still San Diegos mistake. Boston owes him nothing.
 
Apparently he's a 3rd baseman like Carlos Santana was a catcher. Not just bad but utterly incompetent. Future 1B/DH.

So what you are saying is that just as Josh Bell hits FA, this 1B comes available to the Gs??
 
I think we have the ball rolling on this, boys… Looks like some momentum is starting to form….He was interviewed the other day and just came out with it and declared Cleveland is the destination.

“When you are available to go state side is there a franchise you’d like to play for”

MM: “Life long Guardians fan. My favorite player growing up was Ben Broussard and I model my swing after him. But I’d love to play there and meet Slider… I will only play for the G’s”

Cleveland ? Wow ok. Have you ever visited there ? Like yourself, it’s blue collar with a strong Asian community.

MM: “Never been, I want to try the Corned Beef at world renowned Slyman’s, but due to gastric issues I must decline the Swiss cheese. And I have plans on moving to Parma Ohio. It has nice pictures and is historic. I will commute to the ballpark from my place in Parma”

 
@PIP

Looky who walked it off for Japan last night...

Not a dry eye at my place knowing that’s our future 3rd baseman…

The shout out to Parma during this interview just gives you the warm and fuzzies..
