The San Francisco Giants have reached a multi-year agreement with veteran catcher Tom Murphy for a two-year deal worth $8 million, with a club option for a third year. Murphy, who previously had a .784 OPS in four seasons with the Seattle Mariners, is expected to serve as Patrick Bailey's backup. The deal includes a $250,000 buyout for the club option and guarantees Murphy $8.25 million. The signing may signal the potential trade of Joey Bart, as the Giants look to add depth in the catching and outfield positions.

The Giants announced the Tom Murphy deal. The veteran catcher gets two years and $8.25 million, with a club option for 2026. Sabol seems headed to Triple-A as catching/outfield depth. Bart is out of options, so the Giants will look to trade the former No. 2 overall pick.
