6 months agoFree-agent catcher Tom Murphy and the San Francisco Giants agreed to a two-year deal worth $8 million on Monday. Murphy, a former third-round pick in 2012 by the Colorado Rockies, spent the last three years with the Seattle Mariners. In that time, he hit .237/.324/.418 with 20 home runs and 52 RBI in 526 plate appearances over 158 games played. He only appeared in 47 games for the M's in 2023 but hit .290 (42-for-145) with eight home runs and 17 RBI. The 32-year-old veteran backstop will hope to stay healthy in 2024 with the Giants, where he's expected to serve as the backup to Patrick Bailey. Murphy has a career .244/.313/.456 slash line with 48 home runs and 126 RBI in 314 games during his eight seasons in the big leagues with the Rockies and Mariners.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
