The Atlanta Braves have added to their already stacked roster, acquiring talented catcher Sean Murphy from the Oakland Athletics. Murphy has been one of the biggest names on the trade block and will now make his home in Atlanta. The National League East keeps getting better and better, earning its reputation as the best division in the MLB.The destination is somewhat of a surprise, considering the Atlanta Braves already have two good catchers. However, Sean Murphy is a Gold Glove award winner who has a consistent offense. He hit a batting average of .250 and racked up 18 home runs in 2022. He will now be able to prove his abilities with a bonafide World Series contender.Jeff Passan was the first to report on the Atlanta Braves' latest acquisition via Twitter.Jeff Passan@JeffPassanBREAKING: Catcher Sean Murphy has been traded to the Atlanta Braves, sources tell ESPN.83191586BREAKING: Catcher Sean Murphy has been traded to the Atlanta Braves, sources tell ESPN.Passan shared more details about the trade:Jeff Passan@JeffPassanFull trade, per ESPN sources:Atlanta gets: C Sean MurphyOakland gets: LHP Kyle Muller, UT Esteury Ruiz, RHP Freddy Tarnok, RHP Royber Salinas, C Manny PiñaMilwaukee gets: C William Contreras, RHP Justin Yeager, RHP Joel Payamps71641085Full trade, per ESPN sources:Atlanta gets: C Sean MurphyOakland gets: LHP Kyle Muller, UT Esteury Ruiz, RHP Freddy Tarnok, RHP Royber Salinas, C Manny PiñaMilwaukee gets: C William Contreras, RHP Justin Yeager, RHP Joel PayampsBraves fans absolutely loved this deal.
