With no clear first base prospect in the Nationals’ minor league system as well, Washington should look across the Pacific for power production and pursue Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami this offseason. Murakami, notably, hit a two-run walk-off double against Mexico to send the Japanese team to the finals. To play in the MLB next season, Murakami needs to be posted by his team, the Swallows. Since Ryan Zimmerman, the Nationals have had no clear solution at first base, and Murakami can be that solution. Murakami is also only 25 this season, meaning the Nationals can acquire a fully developed product in their physical prime.
