The Atlanta Braves could trade catcher Sean Murphy to the Padres amid a disastrous 2025 season, with both teams potentially benefiting from a deal that shakes up the NL playoff race and fantasy baseball landscape.

The Padres are looking to add a catcher, and while Murphy is more likely to be moved in the offseason, the door is open to a deal. It's a bittersweet update, as while a potential trade seems more likely than ever, it's not expected until after the 2025 season, when the Padres might not need Murphy as much.
