Murphy's 2022 season ended after just 14 games due to a dislocated shoulder that required surgery. The 31-year-old has brought notable power to the table in form of a career .205 isolated power while his bat's production has been exactly league average as per his 100 wRC+. That's certainly favorable production from a backup catcher as he and Cal Raleigh bring plenty of thump to the table from behind the dish in Seattle.

Tom Murphy is still weeks out in his return, but has progressed to some light hitting off the tee.
