Sean Murphy

[JohnBriggs12]

Chicago sports radio was discussing Sean Murphy as a trade target for the White Sox yesterday.  Supposedly there are at least a half dozen teams inquiring about him.  I have to think the Brewers could be one of them and with their talent in the high minors, they should be able to outbid a team like the White Sox.  Murphy is in his prime, isn't eligible for FA until 2026, is a good defensive catcher and a solid bat so it's going to take a pretty good package.  His 3.5 WAR on B-R last season led Oakland.  The fact that Brewers picked up Henry, could signal that Feliciano is being included in packages to acquire a veteran catcher via trade.

Cleveland right now is the favorite for Murphy as they tried to get him during the deadline.

Murphy would be nice but I would think he will get a big package in return. In the neighborhood of 2 top 100 prospects and 1 or 2 other nice pieces. I personally wouldn't give up a haul of prospects for him, a package like Weimer, Turang, and Gasser seems like a lot. If we had more highly thought of prospects in A/AA ball it could make sense.

There's this Chourio fellow.  :-)

Chourio, Quero, Misiorowski??? Not that I'd want to trade Chourio, of course, but we have plenty of lower minor league talent.

If you go by baseball trade values site, there's no way I'd give up what is needed for Murphy: Frelick, Turang, Brown and more.

Same here.  Just go get Jansen who would cost much less.

Or go sign Vasquez, who costs zero prospects.

Yeah we aren't trading chourio for Murphy, so I kind of left him out. Quero could be a peice, Misi probably has very low trade value until he gets some full games in.

Misiorowski was drafted in the 2nd round and hits 100mph. He has value. That value probably fluctuates greatly from team to team, so if you find the right trading partner, you might get more than he's worth.

You can't move chourio imo i rather have Vazquez too

The Brewers aren’t trading Quero or Misiorowski.  After Misiorowski’s strike-throwing, jaw dropping performance at instructs and Quero’s performance in the AFL, they are both about as untouchable as Chourio.

I love Quero and Misiorowski, but Chourio is as untouchable as it gets in the entire game. Not that I think the Brewers would trade them unless they get a significant, controllable piece in return, but they're not beyond the realm of possibility of trading to the extent that Chourio is.

Non-zero sure, but so remote it’s not even worth discussing at this time. Things change, but right now both look to be future mainstays for this team.

Teams would just give us a 2nd round value on Misi, not the value of a 6'7 190 lbs projectable arm that can hit 100. He has way way more value to us than anyone else.

Doubtful. He was considered a steal at the time the Brewers picked him, and his projectability has only risen with what he showed in instructs and his tiny taste of A ball. Doubt the Brewers would even consider trading him, though, unless it was as part of a package for a major needle-mover.

That assumes that every team has a lower estimation of Misiorowski than the Brewers do. Of course it's impossible to know for sure, but it seems unlikely. One of the rules of trading is to trade guys that the other team values more than you do.

Vasquez has plenty of suitors including some big market teams.  It's going to take a significant overpay to get him.

Many of the same teams in on Vasquez have been mentioned in connection with Murphy.

It could take a significant overpay to get him. 

[DR28]

Sounds like Murphy cost is super high, hence why Cards turned to Contreras.

I wouldn’t go there yet. There’s still options out there. 

But if that’s the direction the FO wants to take they would have been better off trading Burnes, Woodruff, and/or Adames.

Yeah, there's no way they're not adding a catcher with ML experience.

Agree wholeheartedly with this. You either maximize these next 2 years with those 3 or what is the point?
