1. The Atlanta Braves traded for Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy in a three-team trade with the Milwaukee Brewers. We start out the show talking about the underwhelming package that went to Oakland and why Cleveland was unable to strike a deal for the All-Star catcher.

2. We dig into Oakland's issues making these trades and why they might have targeted the players they did in this deal and while it doesn't make sense, but why Cleveland might not have been able to fit what the Athletics are looking for.

3. Now that Murphy and Christian Vazquez are off the market, as Vazquez went to the Twins on a three-year deal after the Murphy trade, we look at where Cleveland might pivot next and how they will address the catching situation for 2023.
