It’s true. Daniel Murphy just might be the most untradeable person on the Mets. For reasons that make absolutely no sense. Nobody but the Mets sees him as a long term answer at 2B. Many have argued (Joel Sherman of the New York post comes to mind) that he should be pushed as a super [...]
If you were unfortunate enough to open up the pages of the Daily News this morning, you were subsequently subjected to one of the more ridiculous narratives to come out of the publication in years.
