That questionable trade between the Marlins and Pirates was compensation for Jim Benedict coming to Miami.

Seems like a good trade for both teams.

The Diamondbacks have hired Matt Williams as their new 3B coach. Williams had previously been with the D'Backs coaching staff from 2010-2013 until he was hired as Nationals manager in 2014.
I think it's almost impossible for Murphy to be any worse than the catchers were for the Twins last year.

Breaking news: Brian McCann has lost an arm in a mysterious accident that occurred at Brian Cashman's home. McCann was reported to have been asked to come over to help Cashman build a shelf.
When asked for comment on the accident, Cashman blamed it on a ghost.
"Suddenly the lights went out and wham! A saw blade flew through the air and took his arm clean off like woosh!" Cashman continued, "I've never seen anything like it, it was crazy. But look, we all know how much ghosts care about a catcher's caught stealing percentage, and they must have thought that Brian just wasn't getting the job done anymore. It happens, you know?"
McCann said that he doesn't remember exactly what happened, but he claims that the last thing he saw before getting hit by the blade was Cashman standing next to the light switch while holding a giant saw.
This story will continue to be updated.

Man I like Hicks. Damn you Yankees.
Can't wait for him to OPS about 2.200 against the Twins for the next 5-8 years.

Reds- DBacks have disccused Aaron Hill for Brandon Phillips.
Wouldn't be surprised if this evolves into Chapman stuff.

Black needs to get it together and make it up to the majors already. We need someone who can possibly challenge Chapman's velocity records.

Good. I liked Murphy but Sanchez seemed like the guy who should be the next Yankees C. Add a power RH bat to the lineup and at the C position.

The Hicks trade is a good deal, especially if he develops a little bit.
If nothing else, it gives the Yankees a little more ability to trade Gardner (or Ellsbury, but we know that's not happening).

They can have Miller/Gardner for AJ Pollock. : )
I like the way you think.
Heyman latest report says the Dodgers are interested in Daniel Murphy and maybe bring back Utley. Greinke is their first choice but Price is a close 2nd.

I remember reading somewhere about why he chose to come to Oakland, so he could ease into MLB lifestyle without being overwhelmed or something.
Guess that plan worked.
can't decide if tacky or really fucking cool.

Yep. Last year, I thought that was going to be a horrible signing. But he fit in very well and actually performed very well.

Yes to Utley, no to Daniel Murphy.

Reportedly, the Twins had a contract ready to offer Pierzynski if they couldn't get John Ryan Murphy.

Who the hell is John Ryan Murphy? And why does he have three first names?
Sounda like the name of a Serial Killer. Perfect fit for the Twins.
Mr. Enigma
Member
I was wondering the same thing. Why are people calling him John Ryan Murphy instead of just John Murphy?
Coming up through the system he was known as J.R. Murphy. He actually did not like that name as he was always known as John Murphy. He asked to no longer be called J.R. and so it became John Ryan Murphy.
Sounds like a diva to me.

Man I love Jose Fernandez. Cubs should inquire. I know it's going to take a shit load, but he would be a franchise changer.
