The Braves acquired Sean Murphy from the Athletics in a three-team deal. The Braves sent three somewhat decent minor leaguers and William Contreras to get him. I won't rehash it, but it seemed like good value each way at the time. Though, you can argue if it was worth it. I won't stop you. But how did the Brewers get William Contreras? I mean, I clearly understand how it happened, but I don't understand how they were able to muscle their way into this trade.

"...in talking to [Dr. Thomas Byrd, who'll perform the surgery] today, he was stunned [Murphy] had been playing the last three years with a significant tear," said Anthopoulos.

Sean Murphy has returned to the Braves lineup for Thursday's game after a day of rest, with Drake Baldwin having hit his first career home run.
