I don't know about waffle house, but I've picked up great rumors from a Honey Baked Ham.

TDA probably 50% DH at least after this move.

I’m thinking the same thing. We shall see.

Makes you wonder if this deal is a precursor to announcement of a free agent signing, whether it be SS or LF. Otherwise, makes zero sense to give up that much for Murphy.

Braves get: Sean Murphy (Oak)
A's get: Manny Pina (Atl), Freddy Tarnok (Atl), Esteury Ruiz (Mil), Kyle Muller (Atl)
Brewers get: William Contreras (Atl), Joel Payamps (Oak), Justin Yeager (Oak)
Even if the Braves don't get anyone else back, it doesn't make sense for the A's to trade Contreras for that little.

Rosenthal says Justin Yeager is in the trade as well, going to MIL.
Adames has to be coming back, right?

If true, what a steal by AA.
Especially since we had catcher solved for at least one more season.
What if Contreras goes out and hits to a 130 wrc+ next season in 500 ABs while managing to not be a complete negative in LF?
I honeslty don't get it. Think its a bad move with the principals discussed already.
Only way this makes sense to me.
I’m big on Murphy as I think he’s the best defensive catcher in baseball and a top 5 bat.
Saying that, we gave up a young semi all star catcher, a veteran solid backup catcher, at worst a number 5 SP and a RP for him?
Seems there has to be more.
If that is the deal the Brewers really upgraded and has to feel pretty good.

TBH love Contreras bat, but he's likely a DH\backup C.
With the pitch clock and changes, I think you are gonna want a guy back there who can limit the run game.

I like Contreras, but I really think he's a bat only guy. I've been derided for that opinion before, but I don't think there's any way the Braves sign Pina last off-season to a two-year deal if they truly trusted Contreras behind the plate.
A lot of us were conjecturing about Murphy when the possibility first surfaced, but he only makes sense if it was a more complex deal that could line up several teams. I guess we are going to see it unfold.

We'll need a third catcher as an insurance policy. We flirted with danger with TDA and Bill in the lineup together last season.

Please stop posting facts. It upsets those who are upset they won’t hear trumpets anymore. Lol

If that is it, I absolutely HATE this deal.. we didn't need to address catcher.

Oakland’s return seems extremely light. Feels like Milwaukee has another piece or two to give up.
