The Atlanta Braves and Alex Anthopoulos were able to check one big box on Sunday as they signed free agent catcher Travis d’Arnaud to a 2-year, $16 million contract.
They now have their answer at catcher pairing d’Arnaud with Tyler Flowers who they “re-signed” for $4 million earlier this offseason.
But I don’t think you make a signing like this for d’Arnaud unless you expect him to be the team’s primary catcher.
d’Arnaud was considered by many to be the second-best free agent catcher available this offseason behind Yasmani Grandal.
