The Chicago White Sox might not be viewed as serious postseason contenders, but they have made a few very solid moves this offseason. Seranthony Dominguez is a nice addition, but the big one is Munetaka Murakami.
One of his first requests in coming to the White Sox had to do with the clubhouse, and not with his misspelled nameplate. Murakami asked for bidets to be installed, and the White Sox obliged.
After getting the bidets installed, Murakami was asked for his reaction to the commitment from the White Sox. As Jesse Rogers of ESPN shared, Murakami had an incredible reaction to the addition of bidets in the White Sox clubhouse.

"It's good for the environment too," Murakami said of bidets. "Everyone uses too much toilet paper."
Murakami isn't just thankful that the White Sox listened to his request; he's also happy that he's making the environment better by using a bidet instead of toilet paper.
While bidets might be good for the environment, the White Sox slugger calling out people for using too much toilet paper is a funny quip in a vacuum. But his point is a valid one.
Multiple articles delve into the argument of toilet paper vs. a bidet, and Chris Baskind of treehugger.com highlighted a few key points, including saving water and saving trees.

Murakami isn't only bringing incredible power to the White Sox lineup, he's also trying to make a positive environmental impact as well.
The Japanese superstar free agent signed with the White Sox on a two-year deal worth $34 million. The 26-year-old could become a huge star in Chicago if he can bring his power from Japan to the Major Leagues.
He's hit 265 home runs in his career in Japan, which began in 2018. He's a great power hitter, and along with that power, Murakami is bringing sustainability to the White Sox.
