I’d make Murphy a QO and hope he declines it (which he will). The guy just isn’t that good. Hes only topped 2 WAR one time and that was 4 years ago. If you can find a better way to hide him on the field other than 2B, maybe his bat is worth it.

If you know a guy is going to decline a QO there really is no reason not to make him one.

Here’s a great idea…. let’s talk negatively about the guy carrying your offense through an unexpected playoff run….

“sources” could be janitors for all we know.

It’s sad how negative and pessimistic the Mets are about… Well… Everything.
Cannot afford to resign Murphy. Cannot afford to resign Cespedes. No money to sign free agents. Thoughts of trading Harvey for his personal concerns of his arm. Unwilling to give out a QO due to money constraints. Unwilling to sign long term deals after Wright’s health problems.
Just saddening.

It is shocking that the Mets are considering choosing not to make a QO. This should be a nobrainer. With the extra revenue from the playoffs,just a sad reflection on their strategic thinking if indeed they fail to make the QO.

It really is a failed strategy. Mets should give Murphy a QO just so they can try to get their draft pick back after spending it on Michael Cuddyer.

I would love to see if the O’s could fit Murphy onto the roster.
Murphy at third maybe.
Machado to Shortstop.
Trade Hardy.
Would work for me.
bradthebluefish
I like it but I have hard time seeing somebody taking on Hardy unless there was some serious financial compensation.

The Mets had a similar tough decision to make in ’86. They let series MVP Ray Knight walk and gave 3B to Howard Johnson.

Longtime Philies Phan here…. Congrats to the mets fans.. The Mutts are surprising the heck out of me this off season. Good luck the rest of the way, up 2-0 over the Cubs, they are in a nice position. GL … until next year of course 🙂

They love Dilson Herrera, so this shouldn’t come as a shock.
If they insist on staying in the 110-120 million range, then the money earmarked for Murphy should go to Cespedes. They need OF production much more than IF right now.
They also have a ton of MI prospects who should be ready in the coming years.

I don’t want to agree with jlatimer11’s post…but he is spot on. Murphy is well liked on the team and gives 100% effort (albeit sometimes to a fault bc of mistakes), and he obviously is delivering thus far in the playoffs. I’d *love* to have him as insurance for Wright, while being able to fill in for Herrera and Duda. He could get 400-500ABs between the three spots. Unfortunately if the Mets continue to be under payroll constraints, the $ for Murphy is best spent elsewhere.
