No Soup For Yu!
Wait for it…

The Red Sox should trade him to the Indians for Kluber, the A’s for Gray or the the Giants for Bumgarner, If they pit those teams against one another, they should be able to get one of their top prospects as well.

Or work a three-way deal ultimately getting Kluber AND Gray.

These “ironic” posts are more annoying than the originals.
Samuel
No, they’re not.
Philliesfan4life
the red sox already tried to make an offer for gray but I think the red sox said no once bean asked for bogarts or betts I think. Not sure
Fenway North

Varitek'sMitt

Twinsfan79

Give him some time. He is eating Easter dinner right now with his family. Soon it will be bed time so he will be on to give his trade proposal of the day.

“He who must not be named” has ruined the comment section
johnsilver
Hastur, hastur, hastur… Now get the user to speak it u are posting about?

I used to never read the comments, but ever since he started commenting regularly , I read the comments section of every article. He really revitalized this site for me; its been a lot more interesting lately
CursedRangers
Same here. I skim the articles and go straight to the comments now (which I hardly used to read)
mwk89
more like everyone who piles on has

Come on Arte, Make a move

It’s hard to figure how he didn’t get a job over the winter. Murph hit last year, he has a track record of hitting, can play somewhat fair corner defense.. At least worth 2-3m a season, yet flunkys, like De Aza manage to rake in 5m? I just don’t get it.
Samuel
Murphy is a class individual. But he is a butcher now in the OF and has to be platooned against RH pitchers. In years past he might be a nice pinch-hitter for an NL team – but with teams now carrying 12 and 13 pitchers, a veteran platoon bat that cannot play D or make an impact as a baserunner simply cannot be carried. Teams are better off carrying a young player and seeing if he can adjust to MLB and be an asset into the future.

I was kinda thinkin my pirates could trade glasnow, bell, tallion, and marte to your sox’s for bucholtz and big papi. (sarcasm off). Bigpapi4life just traded kershaw, sale, and Arenado off his fantasy baseball team for Castillo.

I was thinking my Pirates could trade Glasnow, Bell and Polanco for mega prospect Jackie Bradley Jr. Sarcasm off

In other sports wouldnt the Orioles signalling their interest in Murphy constitute tampering, considering their expressed interest may havr affected Murphy’s opt-out decision?
sn33
Do you know what tampering is? They didn’t contact him. These are rumors anyway. If they contacted the Red Sox about trading for him, would you consider that tampering? Cespedes has an opt out after this season, so if a team contacted the Mets about trading for him would that mean they are tampering because they are “signalling the interest” and may want to sign him next off season? Nice try.

Well nothing official or unofficial actually came out of the Orioles office. It was just a speculation.
Lefty_Orioles_Fan
I would much rather have Nick Swisher!!!!!
Brixton
Why?
TheAdrianBeltre
Ruggiano may not make the Rangers, a team slapping together a veteran platoon of Murphy and Ruggiano right before the season wouldn’t be bad at all.
bigpapi4evr
Murphy + Lars + Devers should be enough to get Gray and 2 low A-ball prospects with some upside.
dwhitt3
Can’t blame him. I would wanna play for the Red Sox either.
