Ben LindberghHOST
We'll just kick in Estuary Ruiz here and we will somehow emerge with by far the best player in this trade.
Ben LindberghHOST
And the Braves trade Contreras to get Sean Murphy.
Ben LindberghHOST
And it Why didn't the A's just want Contreras? And it's just, how did they do that? How did they manage? And this is not a, in retrospect, because people were immediately reacting to this and saying, what wizardry is this that the Brewers walked away with William Contreras in this deal? And then they made him even better than he already was defensively.
Ben LindberghHOST
So that's...
Jake MintzHOST
And that is just all about Matt Arnold seeing an opportunity, being creative, remembering and identifying that the A's were interested in this player, hopping into the three-team deal.
Jake MintzHOST
That was the Sean Murphy trade when he went to Atlanta.
Jake MintzHOST
They took Contreras from the Braves.
Jake MintzHOST
believing in the player, knowing how to develop the player.
Landrum RobertsHOST
Good for them.
Pat SmithHOST
I have to ask you, though, was there a little bit of, well, you know, if we had held on to William Contreras, if you hadn't have traded him for Sean Murphy, did you have any of that feelings last night, Landrum?
Landrum RobertsHOST
No, because there were other deficiencies that we have on our club and probably will continue to have.
Landrum RobertsHOST
But, no, good for the Brewers.
Nick CelliniHOST
Kincaid and Chernoff alongside Cellini and Domingo.
Nick CelliniHOST
And, you know, some hurt feelings around when it comes to William Contreras and hindsight always being 20-20 in the Sean Murphy deal.
Nick CelliniHOST
When he's the MVP, that conversation comes up all over again.
Nick CelliniHOST
Sure.
Matt ChernoffHOST
other.
Matt ChernoffHOST
Yeah, William had the good year, but we were actually, and John asked me what I thought about it at the time.
Matt ChernoffHOST
I distinctly remember on the air saying, I had no idea who Sean Murphy was.
Matt ChernoffHOST
And it's not, I don't watch Oakland A baseball, so I couldn't at the time tell you, yes, it was going to be a good or bad deal.
J.J. BuckHOST
throw? So he was a three-team trade.
J.J. BuckHOST
The headliner was Sean Murphy.
Jeff SiembiedaHOST
Okay.
Jeff SiembiedaHOST
Sean Murphy went from where to where?
J.J. BuckHOST
From the Athletics to the Braves.
Jeff SiembiedaHOST
All right.
George McNairHOST
And it would be awesome if they could bring in a true, strong left fielder offensively and at least one that could hold his own defensively as well.
George McNairHOST
Designated hitter, you know, this one is particularly required if you trade Sean Murphy.
George McNairHOST
If you keep him on the roster, then obviously you want the DH spot open for Drake Baldwin.
George McNairHOST
But my hope and my plan would be to trade Sean Murphy offensively.
George McNairHOST
let Baldwin play pretty much as a full-time catcher, as much as a catcher can play without getting a few days off here and there and bring in either, either full-time DH or maybe a fourth outfielder or a guy that can, can rotate.
George McNairHOST
And, and we can get a couple of different hitters some days off and utilize that DH spot a little more regularly for them.
George McNairHOST
Again, we're going to try to trade Acuna in this one for a top-notch starting pitcher.
George McNairHOST
and some prospects attached.
Nick CelliniHOST
Kincaid and Chernoff alongside Cellini and Domingo.
Nick CelliniHOST
And, you know, some hurt feelings around when it comes to William Contreras and hindsight always being 20-20 in the Sean Murphy deal.
Nick CelliniHOST
When he's the MVP, that conversation comes up all over again.
Nick CelliniHOST
Sure.
Chris DiminoHOST
other.
Chris DiminoHOST
Yeah, William had the good year, but we were actually, and John asked me what I thought about it at the time.
Chris DiminoHOST
I distinctly remember on the air saying, I had no idea who Sean Murphy was.
Chris DiminoHOST
And it's not, I don't watch Oakland A baseball, so I couldn't at the time tell you, yes, it was going to be a good or bad deal.
Dan HickenHOST
Way past, this guy drove his car off the cliff.
Dan HickenHOST
Sean Murphy is not the catcher for the Braves.
Dan HickenHOST
The catcher for the Braves is an all-star who's better than William Contreras.
Dan HickenHOST
His name is Drake Baldwin.
Dan HickenHOST
I liked Contreras.
Dan HickenHOST
I didn't want them to trade him.
Dan HickenHOST
And then Sean Murphy came in and hit 20 home runs by the all-star break.
Dan HickenHOST
It was the starting catch on the all-star game.
Brandon KileyHOST
So they were the extra team involved in that.
Brandon KileyHOST
The two main parties were the Braves, who really wanted Sean Murphy, and the A's, who really wanted prospects for Sean Murphy.
Brandon KileyHOST
And the Brewers said...
Brandon KileyHOST
Well, we don't really need Sean Murphy, but we really like that William Contreras.
Brandon KileyHOST
He's great defensively.
Brandon KileyHOST
He has upside offensively.
Gary HarrisHOST
Are you a Braves fan? Do you follow the Braves at all? Okay, so he was a catcher for the Atlanta Braves just a few years ago.
Gary HarrisHOST
They traded him in a three-way deal that brought in Sean Murphy from the Oakland Athletics, the then Oakland Athletics.
Gary HarrisHOST
And Murphy's not a bad player, and he was an all-star, and he's been okay for the Braves.
Gary HarrisHOST
He's been hurt a lot.
8 MINS LATER
Bill TaylorAUDIENCE
Did Shane Murphy go to get traded? Well,
Gary HarrisHOST
he had gotten traded for a few years ago in that William Contreras deal, a three-way deal.
Gary HarrisHOST
Sean Murphy came over from the Athletics, and there was another team involved, and I can't remember who it was.
Gary HarrisHOST
But ultimately, Murphy came over to be the catcher for the Braves, and Contreras went to the Brewers to be the catcher.
