Jonah Heim Traded to Athletics After Braves DFA

After being designated for assignment by the Atlanta Braves to clear a roster spot for Sean Murphy, catcher Jonah Heim was traded to the Oakland Athletics on Monday in exchange for cash considerations. The veteran switch-hitter, who served as a backup in Atlanta, moves to the AL West to bolster Oakland's catching depth. This transaction concludes a busy Monday for Heim, transitioning from the NL's top team to a new opportunity with the Athletics.
