The Braves remain cautious about Sean Murphy's Opening Day availability due to his season-ending hip surgery, prompting exploration of catching options in spring training.
If Murphy isn't ready, Baldwin is expected to carry the starter's workload on a depth chart anchored by Murphy and Baldwin on the 40-man roster.
Tromp and Lef3n are among minor-league catchers who could reach Atlanta if Murphy is sidelined for an extended period, reflecting the organizations depth.
Veteran depth could come from Martín Maldonado, a 15-year big-league veteran who joined the Braves in the off-season for temporary catching depth.
Free-agent options such as J.T. Realmuto, Victor Caratini, Mitch Garver, and Jonah Heim are noted as potential fits if Murphy's absence extends.
The Braves have not yet pursued a late-offseason backstop move, keeping optimism that Murphy will recover in time for spring.
Gwinnett Stripers provide additional options, with Sandy Lef3n and Jair Camargo as potential call-ups if needed.
The timeline for Murphys recovery remains a critical variable for whether the Braves add another backstop before spring training.
If Murphy is delayed, in-season trades or acquisitions remain a viable path to bolster the catching group.
