@AthleticsRants: “I’m stoked about Jonah Heim being back on the A’s because of how low the bar was as far as the backup catcher position has been. I also liked him as the backup catcher to Sean Murphy on that 2020 Oakland A’s team. 2020 AL West Champs btw”
@carsontalksball: “Jonah Heim really went from getting replaced by Sean Murphy to backing up the dude who replaced Murphy on the Athletics. How ironic is that.”
@uprootedoakland: “The A’s are acquiring C Jonah Heim from the Atlanta Braves for cash considerations. Heim returns to the A’s after being dealt in 2021 as part of the Elvis Andrus trade.”
@bwstanley26: “Wait why? He was really good for us and catcher isn’t exactly a position known for longevity and durability… I hope we don’t regret this”
Welcome back to the Green & Gold, Jonah!
@NYSports29: “Honestly the best fit, he has good potential to rebound in Sacramento & rejoins the AL West.”
