Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is reporting that at some point this season the Mets could eventually trade Daniel Murphy so that they could promote infielder Matt Reynolds to play shortstop and then have Wilmer Flores slide over to second base. Any change would not happen right away, Rosenthal added, until a market for Murphy developed. Additionally he states that it would all hinge on having a healthy David Wright back in the lineup. Despite his offensive potential, Flores has come under much scrutiny defensively at shortstop, and while the front office projects and maintains a message of patience, the buzz is that behind the scenes the team has some serious concerns. The Mets have resisted promoting Matt Reynolds, but mostly because they want to ensure he plays everyday, and with Murphy on the team it’s unlikely he would get enough playing time. |
Basically Mets are back to their October thinking, but more confident in Reynolds...
Or at least comparable? And if it's comparable, would you rather have Murphy at $10-$12mm/yr or one of the young kids for pennies? Plus the Murphy trade asset?
