Then Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post joins the show to discuss his article on how the Colorado Rockies can get much more out of an offense that has mostly the same personnel.

Any Chance at all the Rockies trade Murphy to an AL Team? And if not, how many runs will he cost the team due to his poor play at First?
Patrick Lyons
I think Murphy is definitely one of the players who could be on the trade block if Colorado is not in the hunt for a playoff spot by July. With McMahon’s ability to play 1B, Rodgers and/or Hampson can tackle duties at 2B and Murphy’s services will not be needed. The best odds of Murph getting dealt require him to play well during the first half; otherwise, there will not be too many teams interested, especially with $15M owed to him in 2020 ($9M this year and a $6M buyout after the season).
