Cardinals Interested In Trading For Sean Murphy
2 years agoThe St. Louis Cardinals could very well trade for a catcher this offseason, and Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy is atop their list, according to two sources. Murphy has been front and center in trade talks early in the offseason, and he could end up being moved at this week's Winter Meetings in San Diego. The Cardinals need a new catcher with Yadier Molina retiring, and the up-and-coming Murphy would be an excellent addition to an already strong offensive lineup in St. Louis. The 28-year-old backstop clubbed 18 home runs and had a .759 OPS for a bad A's team in 2022. Making him even more attractive, he's under club control through the 2025 campaign.
