    Default TRADE: Murphy/Puig for Cargo/Cespedes

    I was looking to upgrade at either 1B or 2B

    I got offered Murphy/Puig for Cargo/Cespedes. I know this one looks a little lopsided, but how long can I wait for Cargo to pick it up? Both of these guys have injury history while Murphy is solid across the board.

    Trade contains high risk, but is it too much?

    Cargo won't turn things around IMO. I was a believer early on that Puig would, but that's unlikely too at this point.

    Therefore it's more of a Cespedes vs Murphy deal. Although Murphy's ceiling is a tad lower than Cespedes when healthy, YC's current DL-stint has me favoring Murphy here!

    Take the deal, especially in a 1-year!

    I like this move for you.

    Upgrade at 2B for the cost of your utility guy and a oft-injured OF.

    And you get Puigs breakout potential!

    It may look lopsided, but especially with the positions I think it's a good deal for you.

    Agree here. Solid deal for you. Murphy has been round 1 level for over a year now. Solid and consistent.
