Teruaki Sato will be posted and come to MLB this year from Japan, and I think the White Sox should avoid temptation here and pursue someone else instead.
Hanshin Tigers slugger Teruaki Sato has officially requested to be posted for Major League Baseball this offseason, with the Japanese club accepting his request. However, writer Noah Phalen argues that the Chicago White Sox should avoid signing the 27-year-old power hitter despite their recent success with fellow Japanese signing Munetaka Murakami.
Phalen believes Sato's high strikeout profile is overly redundant alongside Murakami and Colson Montgomery. He also questions Sato's defensive fit at third base alongside Miguel Vargas, suggesting the White Sox instead target proven outfielders like Randy Arozarena, Seiya Suzuki, or Ian Happ.
