Be interested to learn more about him.  Looks like he missed 2024, and came back WAY better than he had been in the past.  Dude struggled in his previous years at AAA, and then came back stronger, and was better in MLB than he ever was in AAA.  Weird.

Unlike the Booser trade where they stupidly gave up a live arm for a bum, I don’t care about this one since I don’t think Hernandez does anything. But Murphy’s ERA this past season was purely reliever small sample size luck.  K rate wasn’t good for a reliever and he had a high walk rate.

I’m getting Cam Booser PTSD but at least this guy is significantly younger.

I think you nailed it, but Murphy’s age versus Booser’s and what Getz gave up for Booser makes this move much less bad.

If at first you don't succeed with a Red Sox lefty...try try again.

Ofc we traded them lefties Sale Crochet and RHP Y.Fajardo.

Fajardo was identified by multiple scouts as the best pitcher on the Red Sox FCL team in 2025.

Yeah, that Booser trade didn’t work out so hot.  🤣
