The Atlanta Braves are picking up former All-Star first baseman Garrett Cooper, per FanSided. Cooper is signing a minor-league deal with the team, so it's not certain if he will see plate appearances for the club. The contract includes an invite to spring training.
Cooper was a free agent looking for a home. In the 2024 season, the infielder split time between the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox. He appeared in just 36 Major League Baseball games, and hit at a .206 batting average.
The newest player for the Braves spent most of his career playing for the Miami Marlins.
