ATLANTA — Atlanta Braves legend Dale Murphy, a player who is thought by many fans across baseball to be a no-brainer Hall of Fame member, was snubbed once again by the Contemporary Baseball Era committee.

Eight players were on the special ballot after they superseded their time on the traditional MLB Hall of Fame ballot at Baseball's Winter Meetings. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were among the biggest names along with Murphy on the ballot in 2025. But none of them were selected.

Longtime San Francisco Giants second baseman Jeff Kent, a five-time All-Star and 2000 National League MVP was elected into the MLB Hall of Fame by the committee on Sunday night.

Murphy received six of 12 votes needed to be elected, but maintained the over five needed to stay on the next ballot in 2028.
