When the Braves made the Tyler Flowers contract official Wednesday and added the catcher to their previously full 40-man roster, they created a spot by outrighting outfielder Dian Toscano to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Flowers, from Marietta and drafted by the Braves a decade ago, agreed Dec. 8 to a two-year, $5.3 million contract that includes a $4 million team option with a $300,000 buyout. He can also earn up to $1.5 million in incentives each year in the deal. He became a free agent after being non-tendered by the White Sox last month.
