The Atlanta Braves made a surprising move by declining veteran catcher Travis d'Arnaud's club option, believing they could rely on Sean Murphy. However, with Murphy suffering a cracked rib that will sideline him until at least mid-April, the Braves now face a catcher crisis. While promising prospect Drake Baldwin could step in, he lacks major league at-bats and struggled earlier in the year. Another option, Chadwick Tromp, has limited experience and poor offensive numbers. The Bravesâ choice on their catching situation now carries significant stakes as the season begins.
With Sean Murphy out with an injury and d'Arnaud signed by the Angels, the Braves face a catcher's dilemma with limited major league options available.
Drake Baldwin, while promising with a strong spring training performance, lacks major league experience, posing a risk for the Braves as they start the season.
