Former New York Mets hero Daniel Murphy is back with a major-league organization as the Los Angeles Angels purchased his contract from an independent team.
Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy catches a ball to force an out against the San Francisco Giants, Aug. 5, 2020, in Denver.
"Honestly, I didn’t know until a week or so ago that he was playing," Angels manager Phil Nevin said Monday before the team’s game against the Texas Rangers."It sounds like he looks good. He’s been swinging the bat. We’ll see what we got when he goes out and plays." Colorado Rockies pinch-hitter Daniel Murphy celebrates after his walkoff RBI-single off San Diego Padres relief pitcher Craig Stammen, Aug. 29, 2020, in Denver.
The 2015 NLCS MVP started that season under fire when he spoke out about Billy Bean, who addressed the team during spring training. Murphy said at the time he would accept Bean as a teammate but didn’t approve of his homosexuality.
