Daniel Murphy officially retires Tuesday

Daniel Murphy has officially retired, per the Angles’ Triple-A affiliate, the Salt Lake Bees.

Fantasy Impact

Murphy was in the Angles’ organization attempting to work his way back to the major leagues, after last playing with the Rockies in 2020. The veteran infielder’s career numbers close at a .296 average, 138 home runs, and 735 RBI in 1452 career games with the Mets, Nationals, Cubs, and Rockies.

Daniel Murphy signs minor-league deal with Angels

The Los Angeles Angels have signed veteran infielder Daniel Murphy to a minor-league contract.

Fantasy Impact

Murphy last appeared in the big leagues with the 2020 Rockies, hitting .236 with three homers across 131 trips to the plate. Most recently, he re-appeared with the Long Island Ducks of the independent league this season, hitting a hefty .331 with two home runs and an .861 OPS across 142 plate appearances. The 38-year-old announced his retirement in January of 2021 but will head to Triple-A in his next step toward a return to a big-league field.

Daniel Murphy announces his retirement

Daniel Murphy announced his retirement from baseball.

Fantasy Impact

The 35-year-old hit .236 with a .608 OPS for the Rockies in 2020. His two-year stint with Colorado was disappointing, but in hindsight we know it was the end of the line for him. Murphy caught fire with the Nationals in 2016-17, hitting over .320 in both of those seasons. He also enjoyed a breakout in the 2015 postseason while with the Mets. Murphy retires as the only player to homer in six straight playoff games.

Daniel Murphy officially becomes a free agent

Rockies 1B Daniel Murphy officially became a free agent on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Murphy and the Rockies had a $12 million mutual option, which Colorado declined. The aging first baseman will receive a $6 million buyout instead. Murphy hit just .236 with three homers in 40 games with the Rockies in 2020. He'll likely have to settle for a one-year deal somewhere.

Daniel Murphy goes hitless as Rockies get shutout

Daniel Murphy went hitless in three at bats in the Rockies' 1-0 loss to the Padres on Labor Day.

Fantasy Impact

We got excited when Murphy got off to a strong start this season. His swing always seemed tailor-made for Coors Field. It just hasn't happened, however. Murphy hasn't homered since August 7th and has posted a .648 OPS for the season.
