Seattle Mariners moving catcher Omar Narvaez or Tom Murphy?

Narvaez and Tom Murphy combined to hit 40 home runs for the Mariners. Narvaez’s batting average was .278, while Murphy’s hit .273. Murphy is considered the better defensive catcher of the two. Narvaez is 27 years old, while Murphy is 28, so not much difference in age.

Seattle could trade one of the two; however, if a team is looking for a starting catcher Omar Narvaez has been one while Murphy as a backup. The Mariners do have Cal Raleigh coming up the ranks as the #7 prospect in the Mariner system.
