最適合球隊：西雅圖水手隊

A big left-handed slugger, Murakami has been a star in Japan since he hit 36 home runs as a 19-year-old in 2019. He followed that up with a career-high 56 homeruns in 2022. He missed time this past season with an oblique injury but hit 24home runs in 69 games. He does strike out a concerning amount -- 168 times in 140 games in 2023 and 180 times in 143 games in 2024 -- so projects as more of a low-average, 30-homer slugger. Murakami's defense is considered below average atboth corner positions, but his age helps make him an attractive free agent.

身為一名左打強打者，村上宗隆自2019年以19歲之姿擊出36支全壘打以來，就一直是日本職棒的明星球員，他在2022年更締造生涯新高的56轟，儘管本季因腹斜肌受傷而缺席部分賽事，但在69場出賽中仍擊出24發全壘打

不過，他的三振率偏高——2023年在140場比賽中被三振168次、2024年在143場中被三振180次——因此預期他在大聯盟會是低打擊率但具30轟實力的長打型打者

此外村上的防守在兩個角落內野位置都被認為低於平均水準，但他的年齡仍讓他成為極具吸引力的自由球員

We mentioned Colt Emerson as a replacement for Eugenio Suarez at third base forthe Mariners, but a year in Triple-A wouldn't hurt, and Emerson could then takeover at shortstop in 2027. That leaves Murakami as a fit for third base, or a backup option to Josh Naylor at first base. The Mariners have certainly shown they're OK with strikeouts if it comes with power.

而Colt Emerson有望取代Eugenio Suarez成為水手隊的三壘手，但若讓他在3A再磨練一年也無妨，之後他甚至可能在2027年接掌游擊防區，如此一來，村上就能勝任三壘，或成為一壘手Josh Naylor的替補選項

水手隊過去已多次展現出——只要能換來長打火力，他們並不太在意高三振率

Another possible fit: Dodgers

另一潛在落腳點：洛杉磯道奇隊

The Dodgers? Hey, you have to consider the Dodgers a possibility for any Japanese player. They obviously have Freddie Freeman locked into first base and have a$10 million option on Max Muncy, but note that Murakami did play a few games inthe outfield in 2025. Given their hole in left field, maybe they fake left-field defense with Murakami for a year and then have him replace Muncy at third basein 2027. In the bigger picture, the Dodgers had the oldest group of position players in 2025. Only Andy Pages was younger than 30 among the top 11 regulars. They need to get younger, and Murakami is younger -- and less expensive to sign --than Kyle Tucker.

道奇隊？沒錯，任何日本球員都有可能成為道奇的目標

球隊當然已經有Freddie Freeman，然後Max Muncy也擁有1000萬美元的球隊選項，但值得注意的是，村上在2025年也出賽過幾場外野

考量到道奇在左外野的空缺，他們或許會讓村上暫時「客串」左外野一年，之後在2027年取代Muncy擔任三壘手

從更長遠的角度看，道奇2025年的野手群年齡偏高——主力11人中只有Andy Pages不到30歲，球隊確實需要年輕化，而村上不僅更年輕，也比Kyle Tucker更容易簽下
