Scott Dierking Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Your buttons get pushed so easily, these days. OOOOh, Harvey is going to arbitration. So what? There is no place he can go till after 2018. Degrom is locked until 2020, when he will be 32. The Reds control Todd Frazier until he is 31 (through next year). I would not want to be the team that gives him a high deal as he turns 32. The days of rewarding players after 32 in mlb are going out the window.

Keep your silly shortstops.Surely you jest, they couldn't pull one of the SSs for Murphy. MAYBE Alcantara d'Arnaud is probably understandable for Baez or Castro, but I would imagine the Mets would want more for a cost controlled bat that can hit and field when healthy.

SenorGato Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Neither of those trades makes any sense for the Cubs. How so? Murphy isn't quite Ben Zobrist, but his versatility and LH bat would be almost ideal for the Cubs barring a bigger trade for a bigger talent. d'Arnaud is rough because he's probably not available for the kind of price that would make him a quality buy for the Cubs.

Murphy makes no sense because he's 30 and he'd be an $8mm bench guy. d'Arnaud makes no sense because the Cubs already have an All-Star-caliber catcher, plus an even better one in AAA. They also only recently solved their too-many-catchers problem, so I'm not sure why they'd re-create it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also only recently solved their too-many-catchers problem, so I'm not sure why they'd re-create it.- Murphy would cost 4 million at the half season mark and is a rental so the age is a non-issue. The real issue is that the Mets can sell him as a starting 2B. While he has experience in the OF and would undoubtedly be an upgrade from Coghlan in LF all around, it just makes sense to sell him as a 2B. In that sense, a bad fit for the Cubs. The good thing there is that Murphy grades out as a bad defensive starting infielder except at 1B a while back. I consider him a sound rental option if the Cubs don't aim way higher (a starting CF or better glove version of Coghlan in LF) for bats at the deadline. - Plenty of questions about Schwarber's defense at C and in general - Montero is 34 next year and sits for at least 20% of starts. - Ross at 2.5 million next year is barely more expensive a cut than Phil Coke's 2 million earlier this season d'Arnaud does makes most sense during the offseason, if anything were to ever happen at all.
