White Sox acquire LHP Chris Murphy from BOS

Featured Replies

 

 

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.

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

For a catcher apparently. Which minor league catcher?

What Bob said. 

Interested to see who it is

Sounds like BOS wants to free up 40 man space, which means not Lee, Teel, or Quero.

As per Alex Speier on BlueSky:

The Red Sox acquired C Ronny Hernandez from the White Sox in the deal sending LHP Chris Murphy to Chicago.

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

Was Ellard injured at the end of the season? If not, surprised he retired.  At the very least he probably could bounce around for a couple of years and bank a million or so.

Now confusion will reign with two Murphy's pitching for the Sox...and two Shane's as well.

Both Murphy's are LHPers to boot.

They are going to have two all star Montgomerys.

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.

Don't forget the two Smiths.

Opponents can't use scouting reports if they can't keep up with who's who out there...

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

Boston has found their sucker. Ronny has a lot of potential.

Getzy is gonna make a bunch of little trades in a day or two and then go into hibernation and pray for that #1 pick.
