The Atlanta Braves made another late-spring addition, signing free-agent outfielder Alex Verdugo to a one-year deal for $1.5 million, the New York Post reported Thursday.
The addition of Verdugo comes after the Braves added catcher James McCann and reliever Craig Kimbrel on minor league deals in recent days.
With the New York Yankees last season, Verdugo batted .233 with a .647 OPS, 13 homers and 61 RBIs in 149 games.
In 14 playoff games this past fall, Verdugo batted .208 with a .622 OPS, one home run and eight RBIs. He struck out to end the World Series as the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the 2024 title.
Verdugo, 28, has batted .272 with a .742 OPS, 70 home runs and 316 RBIs in 800 career games with the Dodgers (2017-19), Boston Red Sox (2020-23) and Yankees.
