The Atlanta Braves made some waves this off-season with acquiring Sean Murphy, and Joe Jiménez. Sean Murphy has been excellent, and Jiménez is arguably not performing his best. But, it can easily be said that neither of these performances have been the most surprising performance from a player acquired this off-season.
When the Braves signed Michael Tonkin to a minor league deal, most fans probably just chalked it off as a pure depth move. After all, he has not played in the majors since 2017, and his last action was in 2021 where he played in the Mexican League.
