Lol deGrom is a 37 year old pitcher who’s been injured for way more than two seasons, making 2.5x what Murphy makes. Yeah, totally comparable.

So you don’t think Murphy would fetch even a 40 prospect in a trade?

$15m isn’t market rate for Murphy. Murphy has been worth the same amount as Kim the past two years. You’re the one who made the Kim comparison, but you’re backtracking now because you know Kim will exceed Robert Suarez money. When he does, it’s a solid indication that Murphy would, too...

I think Texas would be ecstatic to get Murphy for a 40FV prospect. Tons of teams would run to do that.

Don’t think you could reasonably expect him to be any good this season coming off TJ. So you’re looking at $105m for 2, maybe 2.5 years. $42-$52m a year. No thanks.

I have no idea what that means. If AA put him on the market he’d get at minimum a 40FV prospect. That means he has value, and that his value is not negative. Negative value would mean he’d need a prospect attached to simply dump his contract.

I’m pushing back on the claim he has “negative” value. That’s pretty absurd.

someone would trade at least something of real value for him. Im not even sure how that’s debatable.

3/$45 isn’t “shine” though. That’s Robert Suarez money. JTR is going to get more than a one year deal as a cleerly aging, declining player because the catcher market is barren.

Have to make the narrative work so YES

Lol whatever man. Kim played 48 games last year and was worth 0.3 fWAR. If he gets 3/$45 or more and you don’t believe Murphy would as a free agent, I don’t know what to tell you. Murphy was worth as much as JTR was last year while playing part time and injured. He’s 3.5 years younger. He put...

Do you want to bet Kim clears $45m? I think he will. If his market were that cool, he’d be back by now. The two are in almost the exact same situation this offseason…except Murphy was a lot more productive last year. Murphy is a year older but is also the better player when both are healthy...

If you acquire Buxton you don’t play him in CF.

Kim will get 3/$45m or more this offseason. He’s also never put up 5+ WAR season. Murphy, coming off 2 WAR while playing part time and injured, would clear 3/$45m.

Disagree. Murphy has value. He has 3/$45m left. He’d easily clear $45m as a free agent right now.

I think Yaz will be playing every day vs righties. I think the OF is done being added to. Definitely think AA gets a SS and SP still though.

Definitely still need a BP piece or two

Thinking about it, Max Kepler last offseason isn’t a bad comp for Yaz this year. Kepler got 1/$11m last offseason, and is three years younger.

Love this move for Yaz. Wasn’t on my radar at all but that’s a really solid signing. As was noted, both Dubón and Yaz provide nice versatility.

Thought I was adding to the joke. Swing and a miss I suppose
