Daniel Murphy is one step closer to an unlikely MLB comeback.
Murphy, who last played in the majors in 2020 with the Rockies, has signed a minor-league contract with the Angels. The signing was announced by Michael Pfaff, the general manager of the independent Long Island Ducks, for whom Murphy began playing this season after two years out of baseball.
Murphy, 38, is a three-time All-Star who was a key part of the Mets’ 2015 National League pennant-winning team. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the NLCS that year after hitting home runs in each of the four games as New York swept the Cubs. He had seven home runs that postseason, all in the Mets’ first two series.
