ATLANTA -- Instead of removing depth from two areas of need, the Braves decided to give Arodys Vizcaino and Adam Duvall a chance to prove they can be assets next season.
After signing Jonny Venters to a one-year, $2.25 million deal Friday, the Braves announced they had tendered a contract to each of their seven other arbitration-eligible players, including Vizcaino and Duvall, who had stood as the club's most likely non-tender candidates.
Now that they have been tendered contracts, Vizcaino, Duvall, Mike Foltynewicz, Kevin Gausman, Charlie Culberson, Dan Winkler and Sam Freeman will have their respective 2019 salaries determined via negotiation or arbitration within the next two months.
