When do the Marlins get to Philly?

Murphy had more WAR in 200 less PAs.
But, yes, everyone here bitched about giving up a young asset for a position that didn’t need upgrading.
Contreras just posted a 5.4 win season for the princely sum of $739k. The Brewers took the Braves and As to the woodshed with that trade.

Is there some reason Alvarado never has to stop the game to rebuild his home mound?

I won’t go back and mention my comments on this trade or the people who called me dumb since Murphy was the best piece by far. That is water under the bridge. But I can keep beating the drum about watching TDA getting plate appearances over supposedly the best piece in that trade. And then the same people are saying we are worrying for nothing because rest is good when it is hot.
Time will tell. Trades can’t really be evaluated accurately after one year.

Difference is price per WAR

This Marlins fan behind home plate in the Milwaukee-Arizona game looks like he's being held hostage.
No need to wait a year.
Murphy is the best defensive catcher in the game and I’m glad we got him but the Brewers were gifted a really good cheap player and I will never understand why the A’s didn’t just trade for him straight up and give us Murph.
Yeah, it’s less about Murphy vs Contreras and more about the Brewers getting a cheap young star for essentially nothing.
Depends if the series goes to 3 games or not

Score is close, but the Phillies have felt in control the whole night.
