The Oakland Athletics’ seem to have their catcher of the future in Sean Murphy. He is a dynamic offensive player, with an elite defensive background. But he can’t play all 162 games in a season.
With the Josh Phegley era, seemingly coming to an end. It is time for the Athletics’ to start looking at a backup catcher. One that could possibly provide a left-handed bat to add to the lineup.
It has been reported that the team has reached out to the agent of Stephen Vogt. He is a familiar face, that played a big role for this team in the past.
