Left-hander Cole Hamels signed a one-year, $18 million contract with the Atlanta Braves, the team announced Wednesday.
Hamels' deal does not contain any no-trade protection, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney.
Hamels joins a Braves rotation fronted by Mike Soroka and including Max Fried and Mike Foltynewicz. Two other members of the Braves' 2019 rotation are free agents -- right-hander Julio Teheran, after Atlanta declined his 2020 option, and left-hander Dallas Keuchel.
When healthy, Hamels was as good as anyone in the National League last season, but he was plagued by injuries.
