He will also be helped by the move from Oakland to Atlanta. Count him as one of the top catching options entering 2023. Murphy’s arrival seemingly pushes Travis d’Arnaud to a back-up role, but Atlanta will likely use d’Arnaud and Murphy at DH, maintaining some of d’Arnaud’s value as a second catcher.
