homophobe (Daniel Murphy), incoming (to the Cubs)

[BigbadB]

At least he won't be able to dong us to death in the playoffs.

[David]

daniel murphy, even without the homophobia, is one of the few players i really hate (for non off field things).

 

he better be awesome.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Following this disaster of a season for Washington, does Dave Martinez even make it through next year? It seems that he may be in over his head as a manager, and based on his interview history I suspect that many other teams had already come to that same conclusion.

For a front office that supposedly values intangibles so much, they sure do acquire their fair share of shitheads like Chapman and Murphy.

 

I wonder if Milton Bradley has anything left in the tank?

[OleMissCub]

Sounds like the Dodgers grabbed Harper off waivers.

 

If they can work out a deal, that's bad news for this offseason if you believe that having 2 months of experience in LA will at all affect his odds of signing with the Cubs.

 

He’ll ultimately be a Cub.

Also I'd much rather have Bote get regular at bats than have this bigot in the lineup.

If Yu is any kind of guide for that kind of....forget I said anything.

At least he’ll be putting the ball in play in crucial situations unlike Russell.

So glad we finally matched the Brewers move to make the IF defense considerably worse.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I hate that I actually do like the idea of adding someone that can hit but is him

Ha, valid point. It doesn't mean its given or anything but I do think there is a slight advantage for the Dodgers if they get him.

Harper claimed by the Dodgers. No bueno. Go Cardinals.

just saw this

 

[sneakypower]

he is generally loathsome but it's being kind of overlooked here that he was top 10 offensive player in baseball for the previous 2 seasons

i highly doubt the nationals value the 6 weeks of salary savings over possibly burning bridges with him (and the compensatory pick i guess)

[UMFan83]

I'm ok with this move if the traveling secretary makes Murphy stay in an airbnb due east of Wrigley for the rest of the season.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I wonder if Harper is staying with the nats

and is red hot right now, and rarely strikes out. he just makes our defense sooo much worse.

[The_Achiever]

I will root for him to help us win the World Series and then go away.

 

Fwiw I've seen him play a little bit recently and he seems healthy.

[Cubswin11]

As a pure baseball move I don’t mind this. With KB dead and Russell basically dead we need some offense. The defense is awful and that will/could hurt but hopefully he’s pulled when we get leads. He better horsefeathering be in Detroit tonight to be the DH the next two days to maximize the bat and minimize the defense.

[UMFan83]

i am all for great thread titles like this one but can we put "murphy to cubs" or something like that in parentheses so people don't skip past the thread.
