If there was any doubt that Daniel Murphy will not be wearing the blue and orange next season, assistant GM John Ricco put the final nail in Murphy’s Mets coffin Wednesday night.
After acquiring second baseman Neil Walker earlier in the day, Ricco said of Murphy, “He’s meant a ton. Both Daniel and Jon Niese will be moved in this deal, lifelong Mets. We’ve had them since the draft. With Daniel specifically, he’s kind of been through the ups and downs over the last few years, and it’s great to see him be a part of that run to the World Series because of all the hard work.
