A deal isn’t necessarily likely, given the 27-year-old’s three remaining seasons of club control beyond the current campaign. Postseason hopefuls like the Mets, Rays and Guardians (among others) would be candidates to improve behind the plate by trading for Murphy. Murphy is hitting .245 11 hr. & 40 rbi.
