## Resource

Bobby and Alex discuss the surprising news that Munetaka Murakami — once considered one of the top free agents on the market this year — has signed a two-year, $34 million contract with the Chicago White Sox. Then, they discuss the final luxury tax payment figures that came out this past week and what, if anything, it says that the Dodgers paid more in luxury tax than the bottom 12 teams paid in total payroll. Finally, they review the Tipping Pitches 2025 bingo card, a decently funny effort that ultimately flopped when it came to, uh, most of the things happening.
