This Day in Braves History: Dale Murphy announces his retirement

1993 - Rockies outfielder Dale Murphy announces his retirement from baseball. The two-time NL MVP retires with 398 career home runs and 1,266 RBI. Murphy spent 15 seasons with Atlanta before he was traded to the Phillies in 1990.

2015 - The Braves acquire third baseman Juan Uribe and pitcher Chris Withrow from the Dodgers in exchange for infielder Alberto Callaspo and pitchers Eric Stults, Ian Thomas and Juan Jaime. Callaspo initially blocked the deal as a player who was signed as a free agent before the season, but eventually gives in and agrees to the trade.
