3/06/25	[Last Word on Sports] - The Murphy/Contreras Trade Hasn’t Worked Out Thus Far for Atlanta. Atlanta Braves General Manager has an airtight resumé as one of the top executives in baseball. He has become a beloved figure among fans for his moxie and shrewd decision-making, pulling the team out of one of its darkest eras and building a perennially contending roster in his nearly eight years at the helm in Atlanta. Anthopoulos' achievements range from his knack for locking in young stars on inexplicably team-friendly contracts to incredibly lucrative trades. He will forever be remembered in Atlanta for going all in at the deadline in 2021, completely rebuilding the outfield with the acquisitions of Jorge Soler, Eddie Rosario, Joc Pederson, and Adam Duvall in a gamble that resulted in a stunning World Series title. However, one more recent trade has flopped so far and has some fans still grumbling two years later, and that was sending away William Contreras for Sean Murphy. Murphy/Contreras Trade Has Yet to Pay Off for Braves Sean Murphy Hasn't Lived Up to Expectations In December of 2022, in a three-team deal that sent Manny Piña and three prospects to the then-Oakland Athletics, as well as another prospect and young catcher, William Contreras, to the Milwaukee Brewers. At the time, few people questioned the decision from the Braves' side. Murphy was coming off a career season at the plate and on defense and had all the makings of a franchise catcher. Anthopoulos even doubled down on his investment and signed Murphy, then 28, to a six-year, $73 million extension immediately following the trade. To begin 2023, Murphy exceeded the lofty expectations placed on him, even making the All-Star team. Then he suffered several injuries in the second half, which limited his total games played for the season to 108. When back healthy, he finished the year on a poor note with a 36 wRC+ in the month of September, but most were willing to overlook this on the merit of his solid .251/.365/.478 slash line for the whole season. Then, Murphy fell off a cliff in 2024. It started with a pulled oblique on Opening Day, an injury he never seemed to recover from. In just 72 games, his line fell to a dreadful .193/.284/.352, and he saw most of his defensive metrics decline as well. Unfortunately, the injuries have already followed Murphy into his third year as a Brave, with the catcher of the 2025 season with a cracked rib. Contreras Has Taken Off in the Meantime While the Murphy situation still has plenty of time to resolve itself, it's difficult to ignore what the guy he was traded for has done since being dealt. William Contreras showed flashes of stardom with the Braves, popping 20 homers in just 97 games with an .860 OPS in his final year, but he has fully broken out as an elite big league hitter with Milwaukee. In 2024, he posted a .281/.365/.466 line with a 92nd percentile batting run value over a full season of work, good for a fifth-place MVP finish in the National League. As an organization that prioritizes strong defense from the catcher position, the Braves ultimately moved on from Contreras primarily because of his poor behind the plate, despite his offensive promise. In 2021 and 2022, he graded as an abysmal defender on all levels. However, in two seasons as a Brewer, he has raised his blocks above average, caught stealing above average, framing, and pop time all above the 50th percentile for big league catchers, establishing himself as a capable defender to complement his elite bat. At this point there is a good argument for Contreras, 27, as the best all-around catcher in baseball, save for maybe Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles. Anthopoulos May Be Kicking Himself There is no doubt that the Murphy/Contreras trade looks rough for Atlanta two years in. With William Contreras playing like a bonafide superstar, the pressure is on Sean Murphy to stay healthy and return to his All-Star form quickly, or else it risks turning into a total disaster, especially given the hefty financial commitment to the Wright State University alum. With Sean Murphy expected to miss 4-6 weeks, who will fill the gap for the Braves? mentions the team's No. 1 prospect Drake Baldwin as a strong candidate to start on Opening Day. — MLB Network (@MLBNetwork) There are some silver linings, though. None of the four prospects given up in the trade have done anything in the league, with former Braves #1 prospect Kyle Muller (sent to the A's in the deal) already trying to re-establish himself with the Chunichi Dragons in Japan this year. Atlanta also possesses an excellent Murphy fallback plan in current top prospect and catcher , who carries a strikingly similar profile to a young Contreras. Even so, Alex Anthopoulos and the Braves will undoubtedly want to see Murphy rebound once he comes back from his latest injury, or this trade will go down as a major blemish on an otherwise excellent resumé.

2/09/25	Angels Predicted to Lose Out on $60 Million Free Agent Target to AL West Rival. The Los Angeles Angels have had an abysmal offseason that started out with so much promise. From making their first deal mere hours after the 2024 World Series, to signing tons of veteran talent, to then near-radio silence since Thanksgiving, the Halos seem to be a few more pieces away from being legitimate contenders. The player brought in the morning after the final pitch was thrown in the World Series was none other than veteran outfielder Jorge Soler. As October turned to November, L.A. brought along other veterans like right-hander Kyle Hendricks, catcher Travis d'Arnaud, infielders Scott Kingery and Kevin Newman, and the crown jewel of the offseason in southpaw Yusei Kikuchi.

2/06/25	Angels Free Agent Predicted to Betray Halos, Sign With Yankees. The Los Angeles Angels are having an offseason that has seen both aggressive moves, as well as tons of quiet. The Angels wasted no time starting their offseason acquiring veteran outfielder Jorge Soler just hours after the final pitch was thrown in the World Series. A string of veteran signings followed in the month of November in utility man Scott Kingery, right-handed pitcher Kyle Hendricks, catcher Travis d'Arnaud, and infielder Kevin Newman, before pulling the trigger on the highly sought-after free agent in southpaw Yusei Kikuchi.

2/04/25	Angels Among Most Improved MLB Teams in Offseason, Says Insider. The Los Angeles Angels were one of the worst teams in baseball last season. There has been speculation as to whether the Angels have found success in the offseason, but MLB insider Kerry Miller believes the Halos can turn things around in 2025. "Los Angeles trading for Jorge Soler was darn near the first move of the entire offseason," Miller wrote. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/angels/angels-news/angels-a...
1/26/25	Angels Predicted to Trade Star Outfielder to Phillies in Blockbuster Move. The Los Angeles Angels have had a checkered offseason. Making their first transactions mere hours after the final out was recorded in the 2024 World Series, the Angels brought in a veteran presence, acquiring Jorge Soler. The Halos were also quick to add pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Yusei Kikuchi to bolster their rotation, and even added catcher Travis d'Arnaud and infielder Kevin Newman to round out the offense.

1/16/25	Angels Free Agent Slugger Signs With NL West Squad. The Los Angeles Angels have had an eventful offseason thus far. Fixing holes from their abysmal 63-99 outing last season, the Halos are shaping up to have a much-improved 2025. Hours after the 2024 season ended, L.A. wasted no time in making moves, acquiring big-bat veteran Jorge Soler. Left-handed pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, catcher Travis d'Arnaud, and right-hander Kyle Hendricks were signed in November, and the Halos don't appear to be done yet.

11/09/24	San Francisco Giants Not Expected to Spend Big in Free Agency. The San Francisco Giants are in need of many upgrades throughout their roster if they intend on being competitive in the NL West division, headlined by the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. For the first time in six years, the Giants payroll crossed the first $237 million base luxury tax threshold, after the club added Jorge Soler, Matt Chapman, and Blake Snell late in the offseason with an estimated overage of $14 million. San Francisco will have to pay a 20% tax on the overage, coming in at roughly a $2.8 million bill. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/san-francisco-giants...
11/07/24	Braves could poach Dodgers $69 million superstar after Ronald Acuña Jr. update. The Atlanta Braves have a conundrum to solve, but for big-market teams, free agency usually provides a way forward. At one point, the Braves may have been planning for right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr., the 2023 National League Most Valuable Player, to be ready to take the field on Opening Day of 2025. Outfield was one of the biggest problem areas for the Braves all season and even if Acuña had been healthy, one could have envisioned Atlanta trying to add one more corner outfield bat after they traded away Jorge Soler last week.

11/06/24	Seattle Mariners AL West Rivals Make Another Offseason Move With Kyle Hendricks Deal. The Seattle Mariners entered the offseason with several positions in need of improvement.
