It’s crazy that we both traded (a lot) for a catcher while also creating a need for a catcher.I don't get it. Was catcher even really a need? I thought we were okay there. I thought SS if they don't resign DS and left field were considered the big needs. I had heard we were being linked to Murphy, and I know he's good, but not THAT good. It makes no sense.
Idk man.. if you really think he’s the missing piece, wild bill + 1 is whatever but this wasn’t a need and you definitely didn’t have to do an entire minor league rotation with upside tooYou'd think Wild Bill alone would be enough to get Murphy, if that's who they wanted. Why throw in the arms too?

Better actually spend and not just talk about itHe certainly isn't enough on his own. Murphy was the second best catcher in baseball (just on WAR) last year and he plays in Oakland. He's damn good, BUT I have a big issue with the potential we gave up. And we still have a need in LF and SS and a sh!t farm system.
