chw42 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 19, 2013 -> 10:44 PM) Josh Johnson to the Padres David Murphey to the Indians For only $8 million. He did suck last year (his FIP and xFIP weren't awful though), but for a guy with his resume and given the current market, $8 million on a one year deal with an option is a steal. I wish the Sox could have signed him and traded away Hector for a bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of years for very little discount. To me this is move that reeks of "consolation prize" which is very weird considering it's November 21st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they should use dollars to replace Ervin Santana first, then replace Chen with what's left. I don't think Moore is good with handling their payroll budget.
