Rafaela, Mata, Wikelman and Frankin German is comparable and prob better than that package. That seems like too much to give up. Two of our top six guys in a system with very few guys who project to be impact guys soon… that package better be something special.

Two of our top six guys in a system with very few guys who project to be impact guys soon… that package better be something special. Hate to be a contrarian, but I would’ve made this deal in a nanosecond. Murphy was the best available catcher option in the league not named Realmuto AND has 3 years of control. Rafaela has a lot to prove above AA (despite what ZiPS might say) and Mata’s is likely destined to be a reliever. That’s an absolute STEAL for Murphy. However, I can easily imagine the A’s were asking for Casas, Bello or Bleis so makes plenty of sense why it didn’t go down for the Sox.

I would want to be Milwaukee in this arrangement. Could we have just slotted in Rafaela for W. Contreras and the 2 arms?

I wouldn't have minded doing it with Yorke instead of Rafaela, just because Rafaela so nicely fits a need they'll have next season and Yorke is somewhat redundant with other guys in the organization.

4.9 million value for Ruiz is a bad look for the BTV model. They think he's worth less than Cutter Coffey

The A’s are just clearly ahead of the curve and targeting players that handle playing in Las Vegas

Between the Murphy trade, the free agent market and the moves the Red Sox have made, maybe I just really don't understand baseball anymore.

Heyman reporting Vazquez has signed w/ the Twins. No details on the contract yet. Congrats to Vazquez! I’ll miss his grind, but his base running? Not so much…

Boras’ mouthpiece aka Heyman reporting that Yankees going to make an offer for Rodon.

I won’t be too bothered if the Yankees sink half a billion into Cole and Rodon.

Rodon to the MFYs reminds me of when they got Paxton. Great pitcher when he's healthy... Giving 9-figures on a long-term deal to a guy whose only fully healthy season was his walk year would be classic Cashman.

Padres sign Anderson Espinoza. Guy is still young. It’d be nice if he nade it.

Rays designated J.P. Feyereisen for assignment. Pretty surprising move.
