Okay, so that’s a bit of hyperbole, but the Mariners are going to be active this winter and both Murphy and Narvaez carry a fair amount of trade value. Trading one could be a good way to add talent to the roster elsewhere without touching the farm system or could add to said farm system.
Now, it is important to remember that GM Jerry Dipoto doesn’t have to trade either one. Both are controlled beyond 2021, the year set forth as the beginning of a championship window by Dipoto 10 months ago.
Together, they make a dynamic tandem.
