Manny Piña was a throw in acquisition in the trade that sent Sean Murphy to the Atlanta Braves. The hope was that Piña could be a veteran backup behind the plate, but continued problems with his wrist limited him to appearing in just four games.
How Acquired
Piña was acquired along with Royber Salinas, Kyle Muller, Esteury Ruiz and Freddy Tarnok in the three-team deal that sent Sean Murphy to Atlanta and Joel Payamps to Milwaukee. Piña was in the second year of a two-year, $8 million deal that he signed with Atlanta.
