Yankees potential trade target: Daniel Murphy

The second base position has essentially been a wasteland for the Yankees since Robinson Cano's departure following the 2013 campaign. Brian Roberts was a nightmare to watch last season until he was designated for assignment at the end of July, and though younger, Stephen Drew has somehow been even worse for just about a calendar year. The Yankees seem hesitant to turn the position over to 24-year-old Rob Refsnyder, so it's hardly a surprise to see them checking out the trade market at second once again. It seems like most writers have discussed Ben Zobrist and Brandon Phillips, but perhaps the answer has been in front of the Yankees this whole time, just across town: Daniel Murphy.
