Daniel Murphy is joining the Los Angeles Angels on a minor league contract in a surprising return move from the former All-star player.<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old Murphy was hitting .331 in 37 games this season for the Long Island Ducks in the independent Atlantic League. During the winter of 2021 he said he was retiring.<\/p>\n
But more than two years later, Murphy is giving it another shot. His move to the Angels adds infield depth for Los Angeles and puts him back in affiliated ball with a big league organization.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I didn\u2019t know until a week or so ago that he was playing,\u201d Angels manager Phil Nevin said Monday before his team\u2019s game against the Texas Rangers. \u201cIt sounds like he looks good. He\u2019s been swinging the bat. We\u2019ll see what we got when he goes out and plays.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
