Sean Murphy Signs Extension with Atlanta Braves

On Tuesday night, the Atlanta Braves announced that they had signed former Oakland A's catcher Sean Murphy to a six-year, $73M extention.

The deal also comes with a $15M option for 2029 that includes no buyout.

Murphy is the second player this year to be traded from Oakland to Atlanta, along with former first baseman Matt Olson, and both have signed long-term to remain with the Braves. Olson's deal was eight years, $168M.

For Atlanta, this deal seems like a pretty good, team-friendly agreement. J.T. Realmuto, arguably the game's best all-around catcher, is in the middle of a five-year, $115.
