CHRIS MURPHY MOVED TO THE CHISOX
The Chicago White Sox acquired pitcher Chris Murphy from the Boston Red Sox for catcher Ronny Hernandez.
What does it give the Chicago White Sox
The 27-year-old Murphy made 23 relief appearances with the Red Sox last season and did pretty well. Expect him to play an even bigger role with the ChiSox in 2026.
What does it give the Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox decided to part with Murphy but were at least able to get a catching prospect in return. The 21-year-old Hernandez is a solid, long-range prospect.
Fantasy impact
Murphy might emerge as a source of holds with the White Sox this season, so keep him on the fantasy radar. He might be a decent sleeper option. Hernandez is a long-range fantasy catcher for the Red Sox. Keep an eye on him.
