Diamondbacks Interested In Sean Murphy
2 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks are among the teams talking with the Oakland Athletics about possibly trading for catcher Sean Murphy, according to sources. It comes as somewhat of a surprising, considering they already have Carson Kelly at the position. Murphy slashed .250/.332/.426 and was among the most valuable all-around backstops in the big leagues in 2022. He's been a very popular trade asset with three seasons of club control remaining, with at least eight other teams having been publicly linked to him. General manager Mike Hazen is willing to part with one of the team's young outfielders, and Hazen is also open to trading younger prospects further away from the majors. Kelly hit just .211 overall last year and has been up-and-down at the plate in his four years in Arizona.
