MLB Rumors: Athletics To Trade Catcher

The Athletics began their fire sale during the offseason, and it is expected to continue at the deadline. One player who is reportedly available for the taking is catcher Sean Murphy.

Playoff teams in need of some help behind the plate should consider taking a look at Murphy. Although Willson Contreras is the big catcher on the market, Murphy has all the makings of being a sweet consolation prize.

In 83 games this season, Murphy has nine home runs, 36 RBIs, and a .241 batting average. It will be intriguing to see if he ends up being moved.
