The White Sox are set to introduce slugger Munetaka Murakami at a press conference, having secured him on a two-year deal after his market faltered. Meanwhile, the Red Sox have focused on trades, adding Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras but remaining without a free-agent signing, raising questions about their next moves, especially regarding Triston Casas and their outfield depth. As the holiday season approaches, expect a flurry of last-minute deals, reminiscent of past years, before the MLB slows down. This week could see significant activity as teams finalize transactions before the end of December.
