According to MLB.com, when Dodgers GM Ned Colletti stated
during the Winter Meetings that a
trade for a “mystery” player fell through, that player was Daniel Murphy. Coletti also stated that the trade talks were
terminated when the “other team” received what they were looking for from
another team; this likely points to the Mets’ acquisition of Andres Torres.
Murphy had a solid year last year--especially toward the
end--batting .320 overall. As of now he’s slated to be the club’s starting
second baseman for the 2012 season, and should he be traded that title would
probably go to Justin Turner.
I
believe that the Mets should keep “Murph” unless they receive something pretty
good in return. In last years inconsistent season, he was a consistent base-hit
threat, and upheld his always-good defense. Unless the Dodgers are willing to
give up a quality young player, then I think the Mets should keep Murphy.
