Report: Giants, A's discussed Luciano-for-Murphy trade last offseason originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
After the Athletics traded Sean Murphy to the Atlanta Braves last December, the Gold Glove catcher went on to enjoy plenty of success in the National League and made his first MLB All-Star team in 2023.
There's no telling if he would have played as well with the Giants in San Francisco, but it reportedly almost became a reality.
The Giants were "involved to the end" with the A's in trade talks for Murphy, The Athletic's Andrew Baggarly reported in his column Friday.
