"Murphy" means "Seabattle" or "Seabattler," if you go back enough years. Fascinating enough, considering the Irish have almost no history as sea battlers, despite being an island nation. If he signs with the Mariners he won't just be fulfilling his nominal calling, he'll be "Seabattle from Seattle." Carlos Torres is, of course, real estate mogul and dashing man-about-town Charles Towers.
