Murphy makes a lot of sense for the Jays.

I love Dirks’ potential, but he’s not going to start and is probably at best a nonpower hitting 4th OF. Murphy has versatility and a history of decent contact in the big leagues. Also, he’s not a sloth like most of the Tigers team…

A Blue Jay rumor that is probably accurate!

I like Murphy, but yeah, he’s not much of a defensive player. And if this is time to rebuild, then why not listen to all offers from all comers.

I’d be very surprised if they came away with Murphy. He’s not a long-term option at first, second or third for them, and it’d cost them more to get him now than they’d get back when they inevitably decide to trade him in a year or two.

Or are we just not worried about the interest that they have shown?
