The Atlanta Braves shook up their catching ranks this offseason with a big three-team trade whey they landed Sean Murphy from Oakland.

When the Murphy trade happened, d’Arnaud was one of the first people to connect with Murphy to welcome him to the team, which was something that Murphy clearly appreciated.
